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)

      Vitis Vinifera - Cultivation In India

      Vitis Vinifera - Cultivation In India

      Vitis vinifera, commonly known as the grapevine, is a species of flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region, Central Europe, and southwestern Asia, ranging from Morocco and Portugal in the west to southern Germany and northern Iran in the east. Grapes, a major global fruit crop, are used to produce wine, juice, raisins, and fresh fruit. Of the 5,000 to 10,000 Vitis vinifera varieties, only a few hold commercial importance for wine and table grape production. The grapevine also features in the cosmetics industry, valued for its antibacterial, antioxidant, and skin-conditioning properties. Winemaking has utilized this vine since around 5400-5000 BC in the southern Caucasus region. The Romans' regular consumption of wine facilitated the spread of winemaking throughout Europe.
