Butterflies are sign of beauty known as insect of sun and play a significance role in the ecosystem by providing different ecological services. The study was conducted in Haripur KPK from March 2022 to June 2022. Samples were collected from gardens, fields, and nurseries of Haripur. The specimen was caught with the help of net then preserved in bottles containing alcohol in it then stretched on Styrofoam and were identified by using identification keys. During present study 108 specimen, 5 families (Pieridae, Papilionidae, Hesperiidae, Nymphalidae, and Lycaenidae), 18 genera, and 23 species Colias myrmidone, Nathalis iole, Helicanius charithonia, Junonia orithya, Papilio demoleas, Staphylus mazans, Callerebia nirmala, Ponita produdice, Colias eurytheme, Vanessa cardui, Danaus chrysippus, Ascia monuste, Papilio nianor, Celastrina huegeli, Pieris barassieae, Ypthima huebneri, , Lycaena hyerbius, Lycaena phlaes, Pieris rapae, Papilio Polytes, pieris napi, Zizerria Karsandra, Pieris erate were identified. Largest number of species was recorded in family Pieridae and Nymphalidae and least in number in family Hesperiidae. Diversity was obtained by Simpson Diversity Index (SDI) revealed 83% difference while 17% similarities. Haripur city is the natural habitat of butterflies that’s support breeding and survival of butterflies. Far rural and city areas should be explored. Genetic makeup of species of butterflies should be studied in future.
