Hi all
It is a joyous moment for us to inform you that the Wiki Loves Butterfly (WLB) team has become a witness of the first record of *Neptis philyra* butterfly from India. In India, a total number of 26 species of *Neptis* were recorded previously. Four members of the WLB team – Atanu Bose https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Atanu_Bose_Photography, Mahesh Baruah https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MaheshBaruahwildlife, Abhishek Dutta Chaudhury https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Abhishek_Dutta_wildlifeand Anitava Roy https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Anitava_Roy, captured photographs of *Neptis philyra* (Long-streak Sailor) at the Tale Valley Wildlife Sanctuary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talle_Valley_Wildlife_Sanctuary in the Lower Subansiri district https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Subansiri_district?wprov=wppw2of Arunachal Pradesh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunachal_Pradesh in the month of June 2023.
