The Lepidoptera of Telangana consists of the butterflies and moths recorded in the state. These species have been recorded from surveys[1] and citizen science platforms like iNaturalist.[2] A total of 180 species of butterfly[3] and 453 species of moth (and one currently undescribed species)[4] have been recorded from Telangana.
The state butterfly of Telangana is yet to be decided, with the three main options being Delias eucharis (common jezebel), Danaus genutia (common tiger) and Papilio crino (common banded peacock swallowtail).[5]
