The study of habitat distribution of fruit-feeding butterflies in the tropical rainforest is important for understanding their diversity in the tropics and for determining responses of butterflies to forest disturbance. Some previously works demonstrate the construction and methods of using the portable bait traps for collecting and taxonomical and ecological studies of tropical butterflies (De Vries, 1988; Austin, Riley, 1995; Tangah et al., 2004; Hamer et al., 2006; Hayes et al., 2009). The current work is the first to describe the bait trap use in Vietnam.
