The “Haberu General Election,” (Hosted by the Okinawa Butterfly Designation Committee, Ryukyu Shimpo Co. Ltd., and co-hosted by the Youshinkai healthcare corporation), which was held to designate a prefectural butterfly as the symbol of nature conservation and biodiversity, tallied the final vote count on December 16.
Out of the 23,840 votes cast for one of Okinawa’s five representative butterflies, the tree nymph butterfly took the top spot with a near-majority tally of 11,440 votes.
Coming in at spots 2-5 were (in order): the Ceylon blue glassy tiger, the great nawab, the orange oakleaf, and great orange tip butterflies.
