Mango tree borer or Mango trunk borer or Mango stem borer (Batocera rufomaculata) is a species of long-horn beetle and Pest of Mango in the family Cerambycidae. The adult beetle is 4-6 cm long and lays eggs on the bark of the main trunk, usually on older mango trees between May to December peaking in June-July. Adult feeding damage occurs when the bark of twigs is gnawed or the green growing tips are chewed. The female beetle makes an incision in damaged bark, the bark of stressed trees, or in roots exposed by soil erosion, and lays an egg. Attack by Mango stem borer often leads to the death of the tree. Tree death has been recorded in the Virgin Islands, Israel, Mauritius, India and Malaysia. Economic loss can follow when the tree attacked bears fruits or yields another product.

                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 nest, built by both sexes, is a wide but shallow cup of twigs, bracken, and rootlets lined with softer plant material like leaves, moss, and conifer needles. It is constructed at a height of up to 4.5 meters (15 ft) in a small tree or bush, with mango trees and coffee bushes being preferred. Three or four, occasionally five, eggs are laid; they are cream or tinted with pale blue, grey or green, and have pale lilac blotches and reddish brown spots. They are incubated for 13-14 days to hatching, with another 12 days until the young birds leave the nest. This photo was taken in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 13/06/2022.
