The Himalayan region's butterflies have been examined in depth, particularly inside the Indian subcontinent. The order Lepidoptera includes the insects often known as butterflies. Patterns of ribbons, nodes, and circles, among other colors, are generated by the scales. As a result of their rarity and the huge demand for their colorful wings, several species of butterflies have been labeled endangered because of human activity. Researchers in the Hills of Jammu area did this study to document the diversity of butterfly species found there. Over the course of three days, researchers collected samples from the ground at 400–500 meters (lower altitude), 750–850 meters (middle height), and 1000–1250 meters (higher altitude) in the study region. During the hours of 0900 and 1700 UTC, the butterfly net was used to randomly gather the insects from the air.
