The research about species composition of butterflies at Solok Botanical Garden, Solok, West Sumatera had been conducted from June-July 2020, by surveying three types of habitat; pine woods, rubber plantation and bushes. Specimen collection was conducted by walking along the paths within the surveyed habitats and butterflies were caught using insect net. A total 43 species from 24 genera and four families were collected. Nymphalidae identified as family with the highest species number (29 species), followed by Pieridae (six species), Papilionidae and Lycaenidae (four species each). Neptis hylas , with 11 individuals, was recorded with most individual number. About 14 species were recorded exclusively at pine woods, 11 typical species captured at bushes while only three typical species observed at rubber plantation.
