Answer
D
Explanation
The Blue Mormon is a large, swallowtail butterfly found primarily in Sri Lanka and India, mainly restricted to the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, South India and coastal belts. It is reportedly the second largest butterfly found in India, just smaller than the southern birdwing. Not uncommon. Not thought to be threatened. Maharashtra has become the first State in the country to have a 'State butterfly.'
