MCO: Butterfly sanctuary may be forced to end 16 years of research into M'sian species facing extinction

MELAKA (Bernama): Did you know that there is a butterfly species that can fly back and forth from Melaka to Kuala Lumpur 44 times in its 14-day life span?

Known as Idea lynceus, this species, which is also known as the Malaysian tree-nymph, has a unique golden chrysalis and resembles a floating piece of tissue paper when it flies as it is said to be the lightest butterfly in the world.
