A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. Butterflies feed primarily on nectar from flowers. Some also derive nourishment from pollen, tree sap, rotting fruit, dung, and dissolved minerals in wet sand or dirt. Butterflies exhibit polymorphism, mimicry and aposematism. Butterflies are important economically as one of the major agents of pollination. In addition, a number of species are pests, because they can damage domestic crops and trees.
India's diverse and varied fauna includes rich heritage of butterflies and moths. It has more than 1000 species of butterflies. Bhopal capital city of Madhya Pradesh hosts not only large number of birds including migratory which frequent this city especially during winter but also is abode of variety of butterflies and insects.
