Armigeres Mosquito - Animal India

Armigeres mosquito (Armigeres sp.) is a genus of mosquitoes belonging to the Culicidae family. Some species of Armigeres can raise their hind legs to create an egg. Adults of Armigeres are morphologically similar to species of other Aedine generic-level taxa in the Oriental and Australasian regions, but they are generally larger and usually have the proboscis slightly curved downwards and flattened laterally. Armigeres species are associated with lowland and dipterocarp forests but are never found in primary forests. Many species of Armigeres attack humans. For example, Armigeres subalbatus is a species complex of zoophilic mosquitoes found in Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh. It can carry parasites and viruses that cause diseases in humans, including malaria, Japanese encephalitis, and filariasis. It is also a potential vector for the Zika virus. Armigeres subalbatus is part of the Culicinae subfamily and is similar in morphology and genetic phylogeny to Aedes mosquitoes. It feeds on blood from both humans a

    Aedes Mosquito - West Nile Virus

    Aedes Mosquito - West Nile Virus

    The Aedes mosquito is a known vector for several viruses, including West Nile virus, yellow fever virus, dengue virus, chikungunya virus, and Zika virus. Recently, the USA has been on alert after nearly 300 cases of mosquito-borne West Nile virus were reported. The virus gained significant attention after multiple people tested positive. Currently, no vaccines exist for West Nile virus. Aedes mosquitoes began their blood meal from humans in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on August 31, 2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

                      Metalmark Moth (Brenthia Sp.) The Dancing Moth - Animal India

                      The Metalmark Moth (Brenthia sp.) is a tiny moth that belongs to the Choreutidae family. It has a flashy appearance and adopts a bold stance atop a leaf. The Metalmark Moth is known for its dynamic movements, including pouncing and pirouetting around its leafy ''dance floors.'' It also mimics the jumping spider, a predator. These small moths often feature metallic scales and are mostly active during the day (though some are also attracted to lights), exhibiting jerky, pivoting behavior. They may fluff up their wings at extreme angles. Some tropical species, such as those in the genus Saptha, are quite spectacular, with bright green metallic bands. The members of the genus Brenthia, often placed in their subfamily Brenthiinae, have eyespots on their wings and have been shown to mimic jumping spider predators effectively. A Metalmark Moth was observed sitting and ''dancing'' on a leaf, mimicking a jumping spider in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 1, 2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
