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)

    Mosquito Larvae Sampling

    Mosquito Larvae Sampling

    Mosquito larvae, commonly known as ''wrigglers,'' are aquatic and characterized by a large head, a broad thorax, and a narrow, wormlike abdomen. They typically hang just below the water's surface, breathing air through tubes located at the end of their abdomen. The nutrients acquired during the larval stage are crucial for the mosquito's development into an adult. Larvae possess a specialized organ called a siphon, which they use to breathe air at the water's surface. They feed on organic matter found in standing water, such as that in unused fountains, buckets, paint cans, and rain barrels. Mosquitoes are vectors for numerous diseases, including dengue, malaria, chikungunya, Zika, West Nile virus, La Crosse virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and yellow fever. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), vector-borne diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, causing over 700,000 deaths annually. Mosquito larvae sampling is currently underway in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, as of 15/

        Long-flange Millipede (Orthomorpha Coarctata) - Animal India

        Orthomorpha coarctata plays a significant role in soil nutrition by composting waste and is particularly abundant from June to September, when males and females often pair for mating. In one observed mating ritual in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on September 8, 2024, a male approached a female from behind and gradually mounted her back to initiate the mating process. Orthomorpha coarctata, commonly known as the long-flange millipede, is a widely introduced species of polydesmidan millipede from the family Paradoxosomatidae. Although presumed native to Southeast Asia, this species has been transported by humans to tropical and subtropical areas around the world, including the Hawaiian Islands, the West Indies, the Gulf Coast of North America, and the Galápagos Islands.

                      Two-striped Jumping Spider - Telamonia Dimidiata - Animal India

                      The Two-striped Jumper, or Telamonia dimidiata, is a jumping spider primarily found in various Asian tropical rainforests, particularly in the foliage of wooded, wet, and humid environments in countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, India, and Bhutan. It can also be found in parts of Europe and other regions worldwide, including the United States. The male spider is very dark with white markings and red hairs around the eyes. T. dimidiata produces no toxin significant to humans. Two-striped Jumping Spiders are opportunistic hunters, primarily preying on small insects like flies, moths, grasshoppers, beetles, and other spiders. They may also feed on available food sources such as fruits or nectar. On August 10, 2024, a male Two-striped Jumper spider (Telamonia dimidiata) was observed waiting on the edge of a guava leaf for its prey in Tehatta, West Bengal, India.
