Fan-shaped Jelly Fungus

Fan-shaped Jelly Fungus

Fan-shaped jelly fungus (Dacryopinax spathularia) is a species of fungus in the family Dacrymycetaceae that grows on rotting coniferous, broadleaf wood even in polyester rugs found in Asia, Africa, Australia and the Pacific, North and South America. Basidiocarps or fruit bodies (0.5 to 2.5 cm tall) are gelatinous, and grow on wood, mainly in the tropics and subtropics. Gelatinous fruitbodies are yellow-orange to orange, have rounded stalks at the base, are flattened upward, and have an overall fan-shaped to spatula-shaped. The fungus is a widespread but not common edible fungus and is commercially cultivated for use as an additive in the food industry. The species is commercially cultivated to produce long-chain glycolipids used as a natural preservative in soft drinks. The process involves fermentation of Dacryopinax spathularia using glucose as a carbon source in aerobic submerged culture. This photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 30/06/2023.

            Trichomyrmex Destructor - Destructive Trailing Ant - Animal India

            Trichomyrmex destructor is a species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Its common names include destructive trailing ant or Singapore ant. It is a pest species in urban areas, known for causing costly damage to structures, vehicles, and electronic devices with its chewing activity. This is a "tramp ant," an invasive ant species that easily becomes established and dominant in new habitats due to traits such as aggression toward other ant species, little aggression toward members of its own species, efficient recruitment, and large colony size. As a tramp ant, it spreads throughout the world via human transport systems, particularly shipping. It is present in or has been reported from many countries and islands in Asia, Africa, Australasia and other Pacific islands, the West Indies, North, Central, and South America, and Europe. Here, a group of destructive trailing ants (Trichomyrmex destructor) attack and kill an earthworm, then cut it into pieces and take it away to the ant nest to eat in Tehatta, West Ben

                  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)
                    Evening Brown Butterfly (Melanitis Lead) Camouflage To Resemble A Dead Leaf

                    Evening Brown Butterfly (Melanitis Lead) Camouflage To Resemble A Dead Leaf

                    The dry-season form of the Common Evening Brown butterfly (Melanitis leda) is seen camouflaged as a dead leaf while feeding on the juice of a fallen fruit in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 4, 2024. This butterfly, known for its erratic flight at dusk, is native to regions including Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and parts of Australia. In the wet season, its forewings feature two large subapical black spots with smaller white-centered spots, bordered by a ferruginous lunule on a brown background. In the dry season, however, the butterfly’s ocelli are reduced or absent, with its color shifting from grey to light brown, helping it blend with dead leaves for effective camouflage.

                      Animal India - Diarrhegma - Fruit Flies

                      A Diarrhegma modestum, a species of tephritid or fruit fly, is seen perched on a weed leaf in the forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 23, 2024. This species, known as a notorious insect pest of vegetables and fruits, is found across South and Southeast Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and the Philippines. During courtship, males offer a nuptial feeding gift by secreting a foamy substance onto a leaf, which attracts the female. After the female begins to feed on the gift, the male proceeds to copulate. This species was once mistakenly identified as Trypetta incisa in India due to a labeling error. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
