Abstract
Lepidoptera species are important bio indicators for environment technology, climate change which should be protected to conserve the biodiversity and environment so little research study was carried out from September 2013 to March 2014 on the butterfly fauna at different areas in Bangladesh. Zigzag and walking with individual counting method survey was followed at different location in Bangladesh. A total of 83 Lepidoptera species were recorded belonging to seven families, 35 were Nymphalidae, 8 Papilionidae, 14 Pieridae, 17 Lycaenidae, 7 Hesperiidae, 1 species Riodinidae family and 1 species Zygaenidae family. The family Nymphalidae was represented maximum numbers of area in Bangladesh. Maximum number of species were observed in Nymphalidae family 42% and minimum number of species were observed in Riodinidae family and Zygaenidae family with only 1%. Migratory species Danaus genutia was found in maximum number of area in Bangladesh. So if we make very small chief device technology which we can setup on migratory species to collect information from different sites. Quantification of Lepidoptera species diversity and species richness is of prime importance for evaluating the status of healthy environment. Butterfly gardening is thought to increase the populations of butterflies and control healthy environment.
