September means Big Butterfly Month
Jaipur : September is the month of butterflies, wherever you go you'll see some or the other butterflies fluttering here and there, some are seen nectaring flowers, some are seen doing mud-puddling and some mating or laying eggs.
Butterfly is a beautiful creature or rather we say an insect, that always attracts and fascinate us, they have beautiful wings and verity of colours, and they are found in different shapes and sizes, almost all butterflies are attractive.
There are more than 125 species of butterflies in Rajasthan, some of them are Common Rose, Crimson Rose, Common Jezebel, Common Jay, Tailed Jay, Plain Tiger, Blue Tiger, Common Leopard, Common Castor, Danaid Eggfly, Great Eggfly, Common Mormon, Common Crow, Red Periot, Common Gull, Small Salmon Arab, Zebra Blue, Forget me not, Common Joker, Gram Blue, Common Grass Yellow, White Orange Tip, Yellow Orange Tip, Baronet, Common Shot Silver Line, Lilac Silver Line, Blue Spotted Arab, Desert grizzled skipper, Skipper, Tricolour Pied Flat, Lime Butterfly and so on.... The list continues.
September is after rains is perfect season fot them to breed, it's not harsh like summers and winters so this season is known for the butterflies. Many organisations including BNHS and now Forest Department also organises Big Butterfly Month. Here you have to collect data of the butterflies you see in a specific area. Recently in Madhyapradesh a Butterfly Survey has been conducted at Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary.
Similarly in many places all over the country this event is organized, butterfly are one of the key species of any eco-system, they are good pollinators equally as bee, and it is not an exaggeration that you can't imagine human life without butterflies.
This is the time when we can create awareness and teach and educate our next generation about how important are butterflies. Habitat loss and severe anthropogenic pressure has disturbed the life cycle and survival of many species. As you know butterflies lay eggs on specific plant their larva or caterpillar survives on specific host plant, so if that specific plant is lost you'll also not find a particular species of butterfly there. So if we need to save our environment and similarly ourselves we need to conserve our forest and eco-system.
