                Evening Brown Butterfly (Melanitis Lead) Camouflage To Resemble A Dead Leaf

                The dry-season form of the Common Evening Brown butterfly (Melanitis leda) is seen camouflaged as a dead leaf while feeding on the juice of a fallen fruit in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 4, 2024. This butterfly, known for its erratic flight at dusk, is native to regions including Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and parts of Australia. In the wet season, its forewings feature two large subapical black spots with smaller white-centered spots, bordered by a ferruginous lunule on a brown background. In the dry season, however, the butterfly’s ocelli are reduced or absent, with its color shifting from grey to light brown, helping it blend with dead leaves for effective camouflage.

                    Asian Toad (Duttaphrynus Melanostictus) - Animal India

                    An Asian Toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus), also known as the Asian Black-spined Toad or Asian Common Toad, is seen hiding behind a round clay pot at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 21, 2024. The toad's thick, dry skin, cranial ridges, and prominent parotid glands, which secrete a milky white toxin called bufotoxin, make it both well-camouflaged and protected in its environment. In a fun and defensive manner, the toad blends into the background, almost resembling a snail due to its position and coloring. Found throughout South and Southeast Asia, this species is known for its toxic defense mechanism and adaptability.(Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
