Promila, several butterfly migrations take place in Karnataka. Which one do you want to know about? If it¹s the danaine migration, look up:
Kunte, K. 2005. Species composition, sex-ratio and movement patterns in danaine butterfly migrations in southern India. Journal of Bombay Natural History Society, 102:280-286. PDF at: http://biodiversitylab.org/index/index.php/publications/77-publications/93-a ll-publications I haven¹t mentioned specific Karnataka localities in this paper, but the migratory swarms fly through all of southern Karnataka and parts of central-western Karnataka. Species, seasons, etc., are given in the paper. Then there are migrations of Emigrants (Catopsilia), Albatrosses (Appias) and others that are much less understood.
