Abstract: The study of biodiversity in Western Nepal, especially in Kanchanpur district is lacking. So, a study was conducted to explore the families and species of butterflies in the district. Home survey method was deployed for the study. Photographing and video making were major interventions to record the insect diversity. Website named Butterflies of India was visited to confirm butterfly species. A total 25 species (4.78% of Nepal) belonging to five families were reported from the study area. Among them, 56% of species were from family Nymphalidae, followed by 16%, 16%, 8% and 4% of species from family Lycaenidae, Pieridae, Hesperiidae, and Papilionoidea respectively. This evidence reflects the basic information for butterflies’ diversity in Kanchanpur district.
