<https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%80:Atudu>
.
Ananya Mondal, the unsung hero of Bengali Wikipedia who is often credited
as the butterfly-wikipedian, for starting the initiative of Wiki Loves
Butterfly <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Butterfly>, the first
ever project in India to take photographs of butterflies. She started
editing on July 2015 and in just 13 months she has more than 9,051 edits
globally. With special interest on topics related to butterfly, venomous
snake and biochemistry she made over 90 articles on Bengali language
Wikipedia.
She got the idea of doing Wiki Loves Butterfly, when she discovered that
Wikimedia Commons does not have enough photographs of butterflies. Over the
course of 6 months, the project helped in getting more than 602 pictures,
53 articles on butterflies. She is now interested to work on Wikispecies,
to help there improve coverage on West Bengal associated butterflies.
