May 2022

Congratulations @ninadsr for the observation of the Blue-bordered Plane. I could not find any documentation of the Blue-bordered Plane from the Pune district on ifoundbutterflies and inaturalist.
Let's Choose this as an observation of the Month for May 2022.
Sorry for the delay of a couple of months in posting the 'observation of the month.'
It was an obvious choice and also got maximum votes. One can imagine the Joy of Ninad when he spots that beauty. Especially when he was aware that this was potentially the first record of the Blue-bordered Plane from the Pune district. Ninad explores the new places around Pune for butterflies and has documented 170+ species from the Pune district. The exploration is really fruitful to see such documentation.
Apart from Blue bordered plane, there is one more special observation, Yamfly from Tamhini by @bhagwatn and @swanand. The Tamhini never disappoints and continues to give mesmerizing sightings. Yamfly is documented after almost a decade.
Tamhini still has sightings of black prince Awl, back angle chestnut Angle, Golden Angle, narrow banded blue bottle, and so on.
In May 2022, there were only 250 observations of 75 species with one new addition to the checklist of the Pune district. The most observed butterfly is Pioneer. It was observed in Pisaware, Lohegaon, Nigadi, KV Dehu road, and Dhayari. Some of us also documented the egg laying of Pioneer.
@bhagwatn tops the list of observers as he documented at various places this month, @swanand is second with only one walk at Tamhini, and @pavandamoor is in the third position. Only 18 observers uploaded the observations of butterflies from the Pune district on inaturalist in May 2022.
Let's keep uploading our butterfly observations on citizen science platforms.
Happy Butterflying.
