Very exciting butterfly species discovery from NE India, by a native Lepcha!

[Niklas Wahlberg @LepPhylo]

I'm really excited to see our latest paper out on Nymphalidae evolutionary history! An incredible journey of over 20 years with collaborators, and an incredible job by @ChazotNicolas putting it together!

A very good reference for butterfly phylogeneticists and taxonomists!

[Indian Foundation for Butterflies @IFoundButterfly]

This will be a great reference for those wishing to teach or learn about mimicry, with lots of examples of mimicry rings from India and other tropical countries.

A wonderful natural phenomenon not to be missed!

[Karnataka Forest Department @aranya_kfd]

12 ವರ್ಷಕ್ಕೊಮ್ಮೆ ಅರಳುವ ನೀಲಕುರಂಜಿ (ಸ್ಟ್ರೋಬಿಲಾಂತಸ್ ಕುಂಠಿಯಾನ) ಸಸ್ಯವು ಅರಳುವುದು ಕೊಡಗಿನ ಪುಷ್ಪಗಿರಿ ಮತ್ತು ಮಂಡಲಪಟ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಣಬಹುದು. ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ಅದ್ಭುತ ದೃಶ್ಯ!

@indian_hydra @ClusterPune Wonderful!

[Karnataka Forest Department @aranya_kfd]

Hon’ble Forest Minister Shri Arvind Limbavali, who was also present, said the park with medicinal plants & native species will help promote conservation efforts.

[Karnataka Forest Department @aranya_kfd]

It’s a @aranya_kfd initiative, as part of the CMs vision to have 3 such parks in Bengaluru, added PCCF & HoFF Sanjai Mohan. The park is close to the Namma Metro line & ITPL.
