Blue Mormon
The blue Mormon is a large swallowtail butterfly found in South India and Sri Lanka. It is most commonly found in heavy rainfall areas, such as evergreen forests. It is black in colour with red spots. It frequents forest paths and streams and is usually fond of the sun. This butterfly has a rapid unidirectional flight and frequently changes course, hopping up and down in its flight path, thus making it extremely difficult to catch it. Maharashtra has recently declared the blue mormon as its state butterfly. It is the first state in the country to make such an announcement.
