September and October. The Pieridae maintained their
dominance from June up to October. While the Nym-
phalidae dominated the scene in January, September and
October. Lycaenidae had a fairly consistent representa-
tion except for a peak in January. It is usually difficult to
spot the Hesperiidae and also reflects in the number of
posts and they had their moments in Jan and Sep-Oct.
Species wise Monthly representation
The distribution of each and every species over a longer period in a year is always interesting information from not only to
sight them at that point in time but also for their monitoring and conservation efforts. For the family of Papilionidae, we have
plotted all the species that we could, while for the rest, we have handpicked as many as possible.
