Hamadruas is a genus of Asian lynx spider family Oxyopidae with Indo-Malayan distribution. Hamadruas spiders do not spin webs for catching prey; instead, they wait on plants for their prey motionlessly and pounce upon it as soon as it comes within their close range. Hamadruas species was observed taking care of its young ones. The female guards the egg sac by sitting above it. Even after the hatching of the egg sac, the female accompanies the spiderlings until they are ready to disperse. Due to the body color of this spider looks this spider looks like a miniature of an octopus on the leaves. This photo was taken at Tehatta, west Bengal; India on 30/05/2023.

                  An Indo-Pacific Gecko (Hemidactylus garnotii), also known as Garnot's House Gecko or the Fox Gecko, is seen attempting to enter a switchboard in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 13, 2024. This nocturnal species, found across India, the Philippines, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Polynesia, is unique for its parthenogenic reproduction, as all individuals are female and lay eggs that hatch without male fertilization. Geckos entering electrical systems can pose risks, potentially causing electrical faults, appliance failures, and even fires. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

                      Anthene Emolus - Ciliate Blue Butterfly - Animal India

                      A Ciliate Blue butterfly (Anthene emolus), also known as the Bengal Common Ciliate Blue, rests on a leaf in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 10, 2024. The male of this species displays a dull purple upperside with blue-suffused wing bases, accented by jet-black anticiliary lines, which slightly expand at the apex of the forewing. The female, in contrast, has a brown upperside with a soft violet-blue gloss near the wing bases. Butterflies like the Ciliate Blue are facing an increasing risk of extinction across South Asia due to habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use, echoing a global trend. Conservation efforts by scientists in South Asia aim to protect these vital pollinators. The scene captures the butterfly with a soft, natural light bokeh from the forest in the background.
