Sampling comments: "Data on butterfly diversity were collected from February to April of 2016. Survey was repeated with 15-day gap, for 6 times in each plantation. Sampling of butterflies were carried out in a total of 18 numbers of 400 m modified Pollard transect walks with a constant space of 60 min for each transect in three plantations. Butterflies were counted within an imaginary box of 2.5 m on each side of the path and 5 m in front and above the observer... Individual butterfly that could not be identified through visual study during transect flight was caught through butterfly net, identified and released. However, most 'Swift' and 'Dart' group of butterflies under Hesperiidae family could not be identified to the genus level were not included in calculation of abundance"
