Butterflies were sampled between February 2018 to September 2018 using aerial net and baited trap. A total of 88 individual butterflies representing 61 species and 43 genera was recorded. Sampling were done on February, July and September 2018 using aerial nets and baited traps. Result shows that Nymphalidae is the most dominant family with 41 individuals and 31 species recorded. All six families of the butterfly were recorded, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Nymphalidae, Riodinidae, Lycaenidae and Hesperiidae. According to the rank abundance curve, the most dominant species within the group is Pantoporia sandaka (Nymphalidae) with five individuals recorded.
