From the article:
Did you know that the onset of southwest monsoon in Kerala also marks the beginning of butterfly migration season? A group of butterflies from the Western Ghats migrate to different parts of the Eastern Ghats every year, in search of better climatic conditions and then fly back once the monsoon is over.
A group of butterfly enthusiasts in India, mostly from the south, has been dedicatedly tracking this migratory pattern of different species of these insects for the last three years. They have formed a WhatsApp group called Migration India, which has more than 200 members from different states.
