Blue Tiger Butterfly
The Blue Tiger (Tirumala limniace) is a butterfly species belonging to the Nymphalidae family. It is found in various parts of Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, and Australia. The butterfly is known for its striking blue coloration on the upper side of its wings, which gives it its name.
Blue Tiger butterflies are medium-sized insects with a wingspan ranging from about 60 to 80 millimeters. Their wings are predominantly blue with black veins and borders, and they have white spots on the edges of their wings as well. The underside of their wings is more muted in color, featuring brown and orange tones, which helps them blend in with their surroundings when resting.
These butterflies are often found in a variety of habitats, including gardens, open fields, and forests. They are known to be migratory and can cover long distances during their seasonal movements. Blue Tigers primarily feed on nectar from flowers, but their caterpillars feed on various plants from the Asclepiadaceae family, which includes milkweeds.
The Blue Tiger butterfly has cultural significance in some regions and is admired for its beauty. As with many butterfly species, their populations can be impacted by factors such as habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. Efforts to conserve and protect these butterflies are important to ensure their continued presence in the wild.
