Answer : 1. "Butterfly"
Explanation :

The rare Dusted Apollo butterfly (Parnassius stenosemus) was recently seen and photographed for the first time in Himachal Pradesh, extending its known distribution from Ladakh to western Nepal. Resembling the Ladakh banded Apollo, it is distinguished by a complete discal band on the upper forewing. The protected Regal Apollo (Parnassius charltonius) was also seen, highlighting the rich diversity of Apollo butterflies in the region. Urgent conservation is needed as Apollos face threats from commercial poaching, emphasizing the importance of community awareness and the establishment of conservation measures such as butterfly parks.
