May 26 , 2024 182 days 622 0
  • Tamil Nadu witnessed reasonably good migration of butterflies from the Western Ghats hill ranges to the plains and the Eastern Ghats in April and May this year.
  • It was followed by good pre-monsoon rainfall across the State in the summer.
  • As per the observations made by TNBS since 2013, no butterfly migration was reported in 2016 when Tamil Nadu witnessed a drought-like situation.
  • Though the migration improved in 2017 and 2018, there was a decline in 2019.
  • The Nature and Butterfly Society (TNBS) considers this year’s migration ahead of Southwest Monsoon a healthier one compared to the ones in the past few years.
