      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)

              Monomorium Pharaonis

              The pharaoh ant (Monomorium pharaonis) is a small (2 mm) yellow or light brown, almost transparent ant notorious for being a major indoor nuisance pest, especially in hospitals. Pharaoh ants are a tropical species, but they also thrive in buildings almost anywhere, even in temperate regions provided central heating is present. A cryptogenic species, it has now been introduced to virtually every area of the world, including Europe, the Americas, Australasia and Southeast Asia. It is a major pest in the United States, Australia, and Europe. This species is polygynous--each colony contains many queens--leading to unique caste interactions and colony dynamics. This also allows the colony to fragment into bud colonies quickly. The pharaoh ant queen can lay hundreds of eggs in her lifetime. Most lay 10 to 12 eggs per batch in the early days of egg production and only four to seven eggs per batch later. The majority of pharaoh ant invasions occur during winter rainstorms and summer droughts. These ants are most like
