Bununla birlikte, kelebeklerin insanlar üzerinde oluşturduğu etkiler ve hissettirdikleri de çalışma hedefleri kapsamındadır. Bu doğrultuda, farklı renk tonları, şekiller ve kompozisyonlara sahip özgün 10 kelebek fotoğrafı seçilerek araştırma yürütülmüştür. Nitel araştırma yöntemleriyle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmış ve toplamda 22 katılımcıyla görüşülmüştür. Katılımcılara, kelebek fotoğraflarından hangi türü seçtikleri ve bu tercihi neye göre yaptıkları sorulmuştur. Kelebek tercihleri, renk seçimleri, hissettirdikleri ve kelebek renkleriyle ilgili diğer konular olarak dört kategori belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, katılımcılar tarafından en çok beğenilen kelebek türü Dicle Güzeli olmuştur. Mavi ve şeffaf renkler en çok, kahverengi ve sarı tonları ise daha az tercih edilen renkler arasındır. Ayrıca, renk zıtlığı; ahengi ve hissettirdikleri de dikkat çeken etkenler olmuştur. Kelebeklerin katılımcılara hissettirdikleri kategorisinde en çok tercih edilenler neşe, estetik, canlılık ve ahenk gibi konforlu hislerdir. Kelebek renk seçimine etki eden diğer etmenler incelendiğinde katılımcıların çoğunlukla kanat desenleri ve şekil-zemin ilişkisine göre kelebekleri değerlendirdikleri görülmüştür. Renklerin insanlarda yarattığı etkinin anlaşılması, turizm sektöründe renklerin kullanılması bakımından yararlı fikirler sunulabilir.

The taxonomic investigations of the collected specimens revealed presence of 66 species within 39 genera in 5 subfamilies (Desmobathrinae, Geometrinae, Ennominae, Larentiinae, Sterrhinae) in the study area. Gnophos chorista Wehrli, 1939, is reported as a new record for the Turkish fauna and photographs of the species are given for the first time. Charissa adjectaria Staudinger, 1898, Eupithecia dearmata Dietze, 1904, E. reisserata Pinker, 1976 and Gnophos sacraria Staudinger, 1895, which are rarely distributed in Turkey, are recorded in the study area. Özet: Batman ili Hasankeyf ilçesi Geometridae faunası üzerine yapılan bu çalışma, 2018-2020 yılları arasında yürütülmüştür. 27 farklı lokasyonda çalışılmış ve Geometridae türlerinin çoğunluğu noktürnal olduğundan daha çok gece saatlerinde atrap ve UV ışık tuzakları kullanılarak toplam 2.870 örnek toplanmıştır. Toplanan örneklerin taksonomik incelemeleri ile 5 altfamilya (Desmobathrinae, Geometrinae, Ennominae, Larentiinae, Sterrhinae) ve 39 cins içerisinde 66 tür belirlenmiştir.

Specimens from south-eastern Turkey are described here as Perigune jordanaria anatolica subsp. n. and the differences between this taxon and the nominotypical populations are given. Within the mitochondrial COI barcode sequences, the genetic distance between nominate subspecies and the new subspecies is not BIN-sharing with the nominotypical subspecies and diverging from the latter by 2.5%.

Details of recent field observations of P. glauconome are provided and we discuss and illustrate early stages found on Reseda aucheri, a possible new host-plant. The route by which P. glauconomemay have entered the country along the Tigris River from Syria is proposed. Larvae were found to have been attacked by a hymenopteran parasitoid species of the genus Hyposoter; the 'mummified' larval skin and the adult parasitoid are illustrated.

Field based investigations were prominently carried out from sunset till sunrise due to the fact that the dominance of Noctuoidea species are regarded as nocturnal. Insect nets and UV light traps took over efficient roles in capturing noctuoid moths. The cycle of collecting those samples comprised of softening, stretching, and identifying consecutively in accordance with the current literature. The results of the research indicated that there are 160 noctuoid moth species in the study area, 110 of which are newly recorded from Batman. The second report of Haemerosia vassilininei A. Bang-Haas, 1912 and endemic Dryobotodes glaucus Ronkay & Gyulai, 2006 in Turkey, are highlighted.
