    Insect India - Alates - Winged Termites

    Insect India - Alates - Winged Termites

    Winged termites, also known as alates, are attracted to light and are often the first sign of a termite infestation. They can be seen flying towards windows, light fixtures, and other sources of light like street lamps and porch lights in the late afternoon and early evening, like most nocturnal insects. Flying termites become visible when their colony swarms. Heavy rainfall and warm, humid temperatures provoke swarms, among other triggers. After a few minutes, flying termites shed their wings and crawl around on the floor, eventually dying. Termites (Isoptera) are invertebrates belonging to the detritophagous eusocial group of insects, which eat decaying plant material like wood, leaf litter, and soil humus. They are sometimes called ''white ants'' because of their pale color and physical similarities to ants. Here, swarms of alates are flying around an LED light bulb, while a common house gecko lizard waits to prey on them at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on May 28, 2024.

                  Animal India - Passer Domesticus

                  The house sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a bird of the sparrow family Passeridae. It is strongly associated with human habitation and can live in urban or rural settings. Although found in widely varied habitats and climates, it typically avoids extensive woodlands, grasslands, polar regions, and hot, dry deserts far from human development. It is a small bird with a typical length of 16 cm and a mass of 24-39.5 g. According to a recent study by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), house sparrows in India have shown a declining trend in recent decades. To raise awareness and protect house sparrows, World Sparrow Day is observed every year on March 20. A male house sparrow is perched on a bamboo stick in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on May 28, 2024.
