September month is celebrated as Butterflies month. One of the most intriguing, beautiful, and enigmatic creations of Mother Nature! Their lifespan is only 3-4 weeks, and they transform themselves from eggs to larva to caterpillar to pupa to adult by a process called metamorphosis. Some of the funniest names of butterflies coined by British soldiers and naturalists are sergeant, commodore, dingy sergeant, constable, joker, common duffer, blue tiger, plain tiger, glassy tiger… Observe, enjoy, and protect these beautiful creatures so essential for pollination, beauty, and our survival. Don’t cut any grass, shrubs, around you as these are their 3-4 BHK for them. They have their food and host plant in the grass, shrubs, and these so-called weeds!
