When it comes to protecting Lepidoptera species, moths have traditionally been seen as the "poor cousins" of butterflies, receiving far less attention and funding while being just as important to the group. A little over 5,600 of the estimated 11,300 butterfly and butterfly varieties native to India are present in museums and private collections. This deficiency has hindered research into the group and attempts to promote and protect these insects. Assessing the effectiveness of federal programs in this domain. It is recommended that steps be taken to further Lepidoptera study in India. }, DOI = {} }
