Blue Tiger Butterflies Swarm Bengaluru During Monsoon Season

During the monsoon season, Bengaluru becomes a temporary home for blue tiger butterflies as they migrate.

These butterflies are part of an annual journey from the Eastern to Western Ghats, attracted by the city's climate and plants.

The monsoon's timing affects the migration schedule, causing the butterflies to swarm the city.

Bengaluru's plateau and temperate climate, along with abundant host plants and nectar sources, create ideal conditions.

However, they face threats from climate changes, land-use changes, and vehicular accidents.
