A study based on butterfly diversity was conducted at the “Raaj Kamal Butterfly Garden”, CUTM, Bhubaneshwar campus during the period of December, 2019 to March, 2020 from 8:30 AM to 5 PM. This survey is a step ahead towards the development of geographical studies, larval interactions and relationships of the butterflies and other insects with the plants and animals directly or indirectly.
