Sri Lankan Rose (Pachliopta jophon)
The Sri Lankan Rose is a beautiful swallowtail butterfly found only in Sri Lanka. Its striking coloration makes it one of the island's most distinctive endemic butterflies.
The species is associated particularly with the wet-zone forests of Sri Lanka, making the continued protection of remaining rainforest habitat especially important.
When rainforest is fragmented or cleared, butterflies can lose both food plants and breeding habitat. Protecting connected forest helps maintain the ecological conditions needed for populations to survive.
