Animal India

The orange-headed thrush (Geokichla citrina) is a colourful shy singing bird in the thrush family that prefers to live in the damp secluded environment of the rural bush, in the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The species shows a preference for shady damp areas and can be quite secretive. The orange-headed thrush is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms, and fruit. Albeit shy by nature, this thrush demonstrated high tolerance for human presence. On a good day, the bird will make two trips to its bathing ground, mostly localized to the evening period. This photo was taken in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 04/06/2022. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

    Indo-Pacific Gecko (Hemidactylus Garnotii) - Animal India

    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.

                Ladybug Beetle (Coccinellidae) - Animal India

                A Coccinellidae (ladybug or ladybird beetle) larva was observed on leaves in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 9, 2024. The larva displays a unique camouflage defense mechanism resembling a small jasmine flower to avoid predators. Typically found in shaded shrubs or bushes under tall trees, these larvae are vulnerable to heavy rain but may survive by sheltering beneath leaves. Most species in the Coccinellidae family are carnivorous predators, coexisting with other insects like ants, planthoppers, and treehoppers in their natural forest habitat.
