    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)

              Skipper Butterfly - Potanthus - Animal India

              Skipper Butterfly - Potanthus - Animal India

              Potanthus is a large genus of the Hesperiidae family, also known as skipper butterflies. They are commonly referred to as darts and are predominantly found in Asia. The genus comprises about 35 species, all of which appear very similar and are often only reliably identifiable through the examination of the male genitalia. As a result, they cannot be easily identified based on external traits, such as wing patterns. In India, there are 19 species of Potanthus. When sitting, this butterfly orients its wings towards the sun, and the wing splits often make it resemble a fighter jet parked at an air base. A skipper butterfly was observed sitting on the leaves in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 20, 2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

                    The Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius) is building a nest. These little birds, ranging from 3.9 to 5.5 inches in size, are renowned for their unique nests made of leaves "sewn" together. They typically construct nests by stitching leaves, even on small weeds, resulting in nests that blend seamlessly with surrounding foliage and are difficult to distinguish. A Common Tailorbird can be observed creating a nest by sewing leaves together, with its head to neck visible while sewing, in Tehatta, West Bengal, on March 20, 2024.
