As the monsoon enters its last phase, the months of September and October become the ideal time to witness the splendour of butterflies. Sign up for a trail at Ovalekar Wadi, an open-air garden where these winged beauties can be spotted in abundance. Organised by Bombay Natural History Society, participants will get the chance to view over 150 species - including Blue Mormon, which is the state butterfly of Maharashtra, Great Orange Tip, Brown King Crow and Stripped Tiger - that can be found in Mumbai and its outskirts.
Trail leader Asif Khan explains, "Through this trail, we want people to know that butterflies are a very sensitive group of species and their conservation is the need of the hour."
