    Dakhan Common Casto Butterfly - Castor Oil Plant - Animal India

    Dakhan Common Casto Butterfly - Castor Oil Plant - Animal India

    The Dakhan Common Castor (Ariadne merione merione) is an orange butterfly found in South and Southeast Asia, with a wingspan ranging between 30-35 mm. Its larvae feed almost exclusively on the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis). Like others in the family Nymphalidae, it has small, unused front legs, effectively making it four-legged. These smaller appendages are covered with long hairs, giving them a characteristic brush-like appearance. This species of butterfly is seldom seen full-bodied and can sometimes be observed sipping plant sap. Their main food source is the extract from fruits that have fallen and rotted on the ground. A Dakhan Common Castor butterfly was observed sitting on a branch of a castor oil plant in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 31, 2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

              Animal India - Argiope Aetherea - Orb-web Spider

              Argiope aetherea is a large orb-web spider (family Araneidae). Like other species of Argiope, it is commonly known as the St Andrew's Cross spider, due to the characteristic cross-shaped web decorations female spiders often include in their webs. Like most orb-web spiders, this spider shows considerable sexual size dimorphism, with females being many times larger than males. Like almost all other spiders, Argiope are harmless to humans. As is the case with most garden spiders, they eat insects, and they are capable of consuming prey up to twice their size. An Argiope aetherea spider sits in webs waiting to catch prey in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India on 15/11/2023. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
