Tirumala euploeomorpha

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Tirumala euploeomorpha faces severe population declines primarily due to widespread deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its Southeast Asian range. Agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations and rice cultivation, has eliminated critical breeding and feeding areas. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns that affect the butterfly's host plants and nectar sources.

Threat summary

Habitat

This butterfly inhabits tropical lowland forests, forest edges, and secondary growth areas across Southeast Asia, particularly favoring areas with abundant flowering plants for nectar feeding. The species requires intact forest corridors for migration and specific host plants from the Apocynaceae family for larval development.
