        Semi-looper (Achaea Janata) - Animal India

        Achaea janata, commonly known as the Castor Semi-looper or Croton Caterpillar, is an erebid moth. The caterpillars are called 'semi-loopers' due to their distinctive mode of locomotion. This species is found in the Indo-Australian tropics and subtropics, extending south to New Zealand and east through the Pacific archipelagos to Easter Island. It is a major pest of castor plants worldwide. As they feed on the castor oil plant, the caterpillars may become extremely poisonous. They damage foliage, resulting in defoliation and a reduction in the photosynthesis process. They also attack stems, boring into them, which can cause the entire plant to wilt and die. A Castor Semi-looper (Achaea janata) was observed sitting on the wall of a house in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 16/07/2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

                Golden Jackals Cubs - Canis Aureus - Animal India

                Three golden jackal (Canis aureus) cubs broke through a bamboo fence to enter a house from the jungle, sitting by the drain near a tube well to drink water. Occasionally, they chewed on the broken fence and played biting games with each other, showing various funny expressions. This scene occurred in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on July 2, 2024. The golden jackal, the largest of the jackals, resembles a small wolf but has a more slender build, shorter legs, and a shorter tail. Their habitat is being reduced due to a lack of food and shelter and the pressures of urbanization. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
