We are intrigued by the fact that many butterflies of India migrate.
The onset of southwest monsoon in Kerala also marks the beginning of butterfly migration season. A group of butterflies from the Western Ghats migrate to different parts of the Eastern Ghats every year, in search of better climatic conditions and then fly back once the monsoon is over.
This migration is being monitored as a CitSci project by Dr Kalesh Sadasivan and more than 200 butterfly enthusiasts.
