    Solution

    The Arunachal Pradesh government has declared Kaiser-i-Hind (Teinopalpus imperialis) as the state butterfly.

    The butterfly is found in southern China, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan.

    Kaiser-e-Hind is a very rare and elusive swallowtail butterfly. This butterfly is found at medium and high elevations. It flies high in the canopies of broad-leaved temperate evergreen forests and its presence indicates the existence of a good forest ecosystem.
