Putali

Putali is a Nepali word that commonly refers to butterflies. These insects are known for their vibrant colors and delicate wings. In Nepal, butterflies are found in various habitats, from the lush green hills to the higher Himalayan regions, though specific species may be adapted to particular altitudes and environments. The life cycle of a putali includes four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult.

Butterflies play a role in the ecosystem as pollinators, contributing to the reproduction of many plant species. They are also part of the food chain, serving as prey for birds and other animals. While the term "putali" is a general one, Nepal is home to a diverse range of butterfly species, including some that are endemic to the region. Conservation efforts are important to protect these species and their habitats, as environmental changes and habitat loss can pose significant threats to their populations. The aesthetic beauty of putali also makes them a subject of interest for nature enthusiasts and photographers.
