Surodadu Waterfall is a tourist area with a variety of vegetation that has the potential to provide butterfly host plants. However, at several points in the location, changes occurred due to landslides, potentially threatening the diversity and causing damage to the natural habitat of butterflies. This study aims to assess the diversity and abundance of butterflies in the Surodadu Waterfall tourist area. This study used the sweep net sampling method and photography by dividing the location into four stations. 33 species were found among a total of 151 individuals in the Surodadu Waterfall tourist area, with a high diversity index value of H' = 3.20. The tourist track station has the highest diversity value with H = 3.184, while the river bank station has the lowest diversity value with H = 2.091. The species with the species with the highest relative abundance value is Lethe confusa, with a value of RA = 13.25%. Meanwhile, the species with the species with the lowest relative abundance value is Potanthus omaha, Pseudocoladenia, Junonia hedonia, and Melanitis leda, with a value of RA = 0.66%.
