In news– Recently, the state government of Arunachal Pradesh approved the  Kaiser-i-Hind as the State butterfly.

About the butterfly–

  • Kaiser-i-Hind literally means Emperor of India. 
  • This swallowtail butterfly with a 90-120 mm wingspan is found in six States along the Eastern Himalayas at elevations from 6,000-10,000 feet in well-wooded terrain.
  • Its scientific name is Teinopalpus imperialis.
  • It also flutters in Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and southern China.
  • It usually flies at tree-top level and descends to sit on low vegetation when there is strong morning sunlight. 
  • It is in flight during April-July and lays eggs on the underside of leaves.
  • The government’s move is aimed at boosting butterfly tourism and saving the species from extinction in the State.
  • Although the Kaiser-i-Hind is protected under Schedule II of Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, it is hunted for supply to butterfly collectors.
  • The two species of Kaiser-i-Hind were listed in CITES Appendix II from 1987 onwards.
  • It is listed as Near threatened under the IUCN list.
  • The state government also adopted the Pakke Tiger Reserve 2047 Declaration on Climate Change-Resilient and Responsive Arunachal Pradesh.
  • This Declaration aims to fulfil its goal of lowering emissions and achievement of sustainable development.
