          Anthene Emolus - Ciliate Blue Butterfly - Animal India

          A Ciliate Blue butterfly (Anthene emolus), also known as the Bengal Common Ciliate Blue, rests on a leaf in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 10, 2024. The male of this species displays a dull purple upperside with blue-suffused wing bases, accented by jet-black anticiliary lines, which slightly expand at the apex of the forewing. The female, in contrast, has a brown upperside with a soft violet-blue gloss near the wing bases. Butterflies like the Ciliate Blue are facing an increasing risk of extinction across South Asia due to habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use, echoing a global trend. Conservation efforts by scientists in South Asia aim to protect these vital pollinators. The scene captures the butterfly with a soft, natural light bokeh from the forest in the background.

                  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.

                    Animal India - Diarrhegma - Fruit Flies

                    A Diarrhegma modestum, a species of tephritid or fruit fly, is seen perched on a weed leaf in the forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 23, 2024. This species, known as a notorious insect pest of vegetables and fruits, is found across South and Southeast Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and the Philippines. During courtship, males offer a nuptial feeding gift by secreting a foamy substance onto a leaf, which attracts the female. After the female begins to feed on the gift, the male proceeds to copulate. This species was once mistakenly identified as Trypetta incisa in India due to a labeling error. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
