Based on desktop analysis and our complementary researches on field trips carried out on Sharr Mountain and Pollog Valley, we established a total of 175 species (belonging to six families: Hesperiidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Riodinidae, Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae) representing 86,2% of the fauna of daily butterflies in North Macedonia. During field trips have been used two basic methods: catcher - for hunting avio-entomofauna and classic method of investigation. The investigated territory owns high level of biological diversity, presence of endemic species, target species, refuge species and also protected species with law. They are found on different lists globally threatened at European level and according to them is evaluated the quality of habitats. Rarely butterfly species are significant in terms of biodiversity conservation: Pyrgus andromedae (Wallengren, 1853), Euphydryas maturna (Linnaeus, 1758), Erebia gorge (Hübner, 1804), Erebia alberganus (de Prunner, 1798), Erebia rhodopensis Nicoll, 1900, Erebia pandrose (Borkhausen, 1788), Plebejus (Vacciniina) optilete (Knoch 1781), Phengaris arion (Linnaeus, 1758), Zerynthia (Zerynthia) polyxena (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775).
