Haryana, with most dry and dry climates, cliff vegetation with several waterbodies spread far and wide, do not have a known original butterfly species, said experts.
The first-of-type survey in the state will not only help monitor the existence of different species and hotspots, but also show the impact of habitat disorders and climate change in regional ecology.
“Butterflies are called flowers in the wings.
They are not only beautiful but also an important pollination.
There is a symbiotic relationship between plants and butterflies.
The presence of a butterfly is a sign of a healthy ecosystem.
This indicates the existence of a rich and diverse life form,” said Mallik Mall, South Wildlife Conservator Haryana.
Butterflies, Mallik added, very sensitive to habitat disorders and pollution.
The results of the survey, experts, will not only help to issue management strategies for butterfly conservation and moths but also the basis for observing the impact of habitat disorders and climate change in regional ecology.
Harvinder Singh from the State Tourism Department, which will also participate in the survey, said, “Ten teams, equipped with cameras, compasses, and recorders, will document butterflies throughout the day.” Winged insects, experts said, marked by four scale closed wings made of scale on the chitin base.
These scales are pigmented with melanin, which gives a myriad of butterflies and coloring.
