    Wild Golden Jackal (Canis Aureus) Resting In The Forest - Animal India

    Three wild Golden Jackals (Canis aureus) rest in a dense forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 26, 2024. Occasionally, they get up and curiously sniff the air.

      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)

                      Catopsilia Pomona - Common Emigrant Butterfly Caterpillars - Animal India

                      A Catopsilia pomona butterfly caterpillar, commonly known as the Common Emigrant or Lemon Emigrant, is seen feeding on the green leaves of a Golden Shower (Senna fistula) seedling plant at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 22, 2024. After feeding, the caterpillar sits upright on the leaf veins, blending in with the leaves due to its similar green color, almost camouflaging itself. This medium-sized pierid butterfly is known for its migratory habits, and its caterpillars primarily feed on the young leaves of host plants, particularly species from the Senna genus, with the Golden Shower being a common host in India.
