Description
Butterflies belong to the group of insects. No other spices in the group are as charismatic as the butterflies. There are five families of butterflies all over the world.
In the past, Butterflies were simply collected as a hobby, but today conservation biologists use several species of butterflies as indicator for ecological conservation. In Bhutan, there is very little literature available about them.
In Bhutan the alpine meadows, Common Yellow Swallowtail and their raspy flight allures attention. In our descent into cool broadleaved forests, a very locally restricted species Bhutanitis ludlowi (Bhutan Ludlow’s Swallowtail) thrives. It is both endemic and endangered. Recognizing its limited distribution and international status, the Royal Government of Bhutan in 2011, flagged it as the National Butterfly of Bhutan.
