The major problems in a Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the localization problem, that relates to how an area covers by the sensor nodes. In this study, the problem formulates as the decision problem, that takes the best location for all sensors in the sensor field. Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA), proposes to calculate the estimate locations for all sensors. Simulating the BOA with using number of sensors from 25 to 150 sensors and number of the anchor nodes. The distance between sensors and anchors measures by Received Signal Strength (RSS) so, this strategy is known as RSS-BOA. The obtained results shed that, the performance of the proposed algorithm is more accurate in comparing with BOA approach in the term sensor's location and the average error.
