With this new addition, there are now 318 recorded species in the list of butterflies in the State
Within a span of five weeks, a rare butterfly species, called the Silver Forget-Me-Not (FMN), has been spotted twice inside the Srivilliputhur-Meghamalai Tiger Reserve in Virudhunagar district.
The butterfly was first sighted on September 5 inside the Srivilliputhur grizzled squirrel sanctuary, and was then seen again on October 9 near the Ayyanar Falls by a team from the Rhopalocera and Odonata Association of Rajapalayam (ROAR).

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
