My Best Butterfly Moment 2017
Jeswin Kingsly
Happy to share few of my Butterfly memories of the year. Had a great year
with butterflies. Monitoring migration in Kallar, my first Swordtails, little
surveys, all Sunday fun, etc. And finally a little documentary on butterflies
which was released on October 1st. But couldn't spend the last three
months there which had quite good sighting. Hoping to spend Monsoon in
TN to continue to butterfly journey. Badly missing all the weekend funs.
Thank you all for the great support for the whole year. Looking forward for
the Butterfly Park project. Meet you all soon.
Merry Christmas and a Great New year ahead!

One of my best butterfly moments was
at my college where I witnessed 1000
(0)'s of milkweed butterflies congre-
gating on the bushes as a part of Sum-
mer Butterfly Migration. I saw similar
kind of congregation in many parts of
my college. The previous congregation
was recorded during 25 September 2015
during westward migration of Milkweed
butterflies. The species documented
were Dark Blue Tiger (Tirumala septen-
trionis), Blue Tiger (Tirumala limniace),
Common Crow (Euploea core), Double-
banded Crow (Euploea sylvester) and
Plain Tiger (Danaus chrysippus).
