My journey with butterflies | Sammilan Shetty | TEDxManipalUniversity


here at TEDx anybody in the city

butterflies are one of the most

beautiful of insects an amazing creation

of nature they’re fascinated man since

ages the colorful fluttering beings

evolve all children love to kiss them

and poets get inspired to write poems

about them the strange light patterns

baffles even the brightest scientists

when nature avos go their gratitude for

the priceless note played by these

beautiful creatures in perpetuating life

on earth the butterfly indeed is a

unique and amazing creature that

deserves our attention and careful study

some of the butterflies are used as

indicators to identify habitats that are

critical and requires immediate

attention for conservation butterflies

also are important pollinators they form

an integral part of the foot well apart

butterflies require a careful study as I

told you earlier and we can only neglect

them to hold period so it’s every so

every effort needs to be done to cancer

to protect these wonderful creatures

the lepidopteran fossil including

butterflies and moths tapes back for 200

million years making their presence long

before they were flowers that they could

the butterflies and wants where earlier

thought they you’re after the flower

stream the recent presence suggests that

that you are much before that and the

shade fulfill early dinosaurs this new

wasn’t finding also make site is ready

for Lepidoptera you lesion even the

quiet most parts are the proboscis for

the butterflies are mods used to suck

nectar from the flowers have until early

double before the flowering plants did

so they have different purpose the

proboscis which you are and a different

word puzzle rather than release the

nectar from the flowers whatever

butterflies have added immensity to the

beautiful planet Earth since their

existence

my journey is burst Lance started when I

was 19 when has allotted a project on

study of local butterflies but histology

professor associate those things I have

heard about 30 species of butterflies in

my locality we had a white patch of

three rodent from disco saw the

flowering plants which is to attract

hundreds of butterflies and the one

butterfly which was more fascinated the

most fascinating was the maraca bandit

be called the butterfly which is endemic

to Western guards which is formally

investment arts and was rated as the

third beautiful but

and India by mentally who wrote the

theme Damon birthplace of Indian region

even though the butterfly is endemic to

Western guards it is more dominant

covers the coastal region of Western

Ghats playing at a lower altitude this

first line used two different colors

depending on the animal received if you

look at the bottle fell below yeah

either it is metallic green and ago your

11 it is metallic blue and as a rule

every butterfly has got its own host

trying to lay their eggs the male

peacock prefers the big tree called a

dad to celebrate sow which is again for

only investing large in the year 2011 we

recorded about 70 species of butterflies

and in 2013 it 113 species of

butterflies and a pleasant you recorded

147 species of butterflies all of the

t39 species found in western larch all

over India you have thousand 200 species

of butterflies the life cycle of the

butterfly is an amazing story it starts

to the egg than the capsular then the

chrysalis and the final state being the

adult when all creatures do butterflies

are in all the food should display with

the male butterflies

displaying to impress the females so the

female is a factor nor impressed

whether this

all with a chemical signal what is

really the mean it accepts and the

mainly takes place and the female after

she goes in search of the host plant who

later X as I mentioned every butterfly

has got its own post plan to lay the

eggs the way is specific about the host

so if you remove a caterpillar from its

coastline and this in some other area

it’s a death sentence for the capital

even if the female shows us the wrong

plant then the Kapler which is going to

come out of the egg it’s going to start

to death so after the egg is being laid

on the post on the other post not

necessary or butterflies delayed

directly on the post

so might lay somewhere near the post it

so it becomes the top the calculator

going such as post nearby not very far

so after I worked four to five days the

caterpillar normally come out of the air

if anyone is missing in some time it

might take a week or more and a group

soon after the calculator comes out it

turns back and feeds on its own action

and the first put up captain not the

same all of them have to feed on their

connection they come work by feeding on

the atomic shell then they start feeding

on a host and they start brewing

once this really grew their third hide

or four people either go to the next in

after the surgeon hide all the maybe

silk thread the view silk parasu the

silk pad which is used to hang

this prick gene is taking place in the

capital are becoming too zealous also

another amazing thing happen in the life

separate butter spread the King starts

lecturing at the park and chefs are oh

say along with the head caps you just

imagine inside the two solids also this

great changes taking place the cap blue

very systematically liquefies and

rearranges to form a butterfly so if I

take anywhere from a week to a month for

the butterfly to see it develop and he

closed out but not definitely but the

butterfly has to come out with index to

play with them some of them I take about

two to three months to come out if the

conditions outside or not feel it

so that means forever the emerging order

the chrysalis in the white is a

voluntary process and it is a butterfly

which decides deliver come out or not

depending on the conditions or set the

idea of study of a butterfly park was

born after I came across a book on

Indian butterflies by the bass player of

India I said chemical he mentions in his

book the importance of a slight

we started propagating both making plans

with birthday differently eggs if you

retain the natural habit 8 if you retain

an actual habitated host plants and

nectar plants you see automatically the

butterfly population sustain so we did

exactly the same

we started predating make new plants we

didn’t a big egg as a buffer zone

without human intervention again which

is very important for the butterfly

population diversity if I have to

mention some of the post trumpets Sheila

earlier with the mango service postman

for commenting feed him and common

banner the curry leaf plant so this was

fought for linebacker friend on normal

if we take cinnamon its host plant for

common mind and common blue water so

that is goes wrong so the primary

objective of the butterfly park was to

conserve better price of the Western

Ghats and create a heavy deed for the

scene and then the park also focused on

educating people about butterflies we

ensure that every visitor who resists

the butterfly power his way of looking

butterflies would definitely change and

they’re also very glad to share with you

after the music of the butter paper many

got inspired to consider the natural

fabric it is very much important because

the butterflies prefer the native plants

with the curb shows of trees they

started consuming this work shows when

they brought ones that is repeat now

they both had the butterflies before

that and it’s very much required for

I hope will inspire many like this and

you know what

isn’t everyone to protect nature earth

is a beautiful planet somebody great

forms of life behave in destroying sweat

Ernest

from Dickens it’s time now that we all

catch ourselves to comes out a planet

and I believe when we need more each and

every one in the process and we when we

start drawing nature and when we start

whether a planet we will do not mean our

because the cave what we love and

remember this to love for nature and

respect for nature will make you rich

beyond measure

my love for butterflies also let the

filming of these magical moments of the

at-bat fell apart and here video goes

I hope this video maybe you made you feel the transcendence of nature
