For which an inventory of the species of butterflies (Papilionidea) and dominant plants were carried out. The data collection took place during 3 days distributed in the months of February, March, and June 2021. Specimens were collected using two entomological nets with direct search and six Van Someren-Rydon traps at 2 meters above the ground and 50 meters apart from each other inside the cemetery. A total of 249 specimens were collected, distributed in three families, nine subfamilies, 25 genera, and 26 species. In addition, 17 families of plants located in the cemetery were identified. Finally, a three-strategy proposal was made focused on the axes of Education, Maintenance, and Planting.
