The present study investigates the diversity and abundance of butterfly fauna in Gajwel town, Telangana state, India, conducted over a four-month period. Butterflies were identified in the field its self; in difficult cases by following capture or photography and even by using Aerial insect sweeping nets and hand-picking methods. A total of 30 butterfly species were recorded from different habitats, including parks, gardens, and surrounding areas. These species belonged to four families: Pieridae, Papilionidae, and Lycaenidae. Nymphalidae was the most common family, with 16 species, Pieridae had 8 species, Papilionidae had 5 species, and Lycaenidae had 1 species. Although the majority of the recorded species are categorized under Least Concern, the study highlights the importance of implementing conservation efforts to ensure long-term protection of butterfly diversity. Butterflies, being key pollinators and bioindicators, require continuous monitoring and habitat preservation to maintain ecological balance and biodiversity in the region.
