    Signature Spider (Argiope Anasuja) - Animal India

    A Signature Spider (Argiope anasuja), a species of orb-weaver spider from the family Araneidae, is seen at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 13, 2024, having caught and wrapped a beetle in its web. Found in tropical and subtropical regions, Signature Spiders are known for capturing insects up to twice their size. They typically build their webs in less shady areas near water bodies, between 50 to 200 cm above ground. The spider's name comes from the unique zig-zag stripes, known as the stabilimentum, which are characteristic of its web. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

      Animal India - Heteropoda Venatoria

      Huntsman spiders (Heteropoda venatoria) are a species of large spiders in the family Sparassidae, found in warm and tropical areas of Australasia, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and the Americas. They are named for their speed and hunting mode. Native to tropical regions of the world, their common names include giant crab spider and cane spider. Huntsman spiders use venom to immobilize prey and are known to inflict serious defensive bites on humans. The female Huntsman produces a flat, oval egg sac of white papery silk, laying up to 200 eggs. During this period, the female can be quite aggressive and will rear up in a defensive display if provoked. Huntsman spider bites can cause nausea, headaches, vomiting, irregular pulse rate, and sometimes even heart palpitations. A female Huntsman spider was observed carrying its egg sac under its body in a corner and door of a house in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 01/06/2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

          Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker - Animal India

          A fulvous-breasted woodpecker (Dendrocopos macei) is perching and vigorously drilling through its beak into a tall East American mahogany (Khaya anthotheca) tree, eating insects. In contrast, other insects fly away in fear at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 15, 2024. The fulvous-breasted woodpecker, a medium-sized species (17 to 20 cm) in the Picidae family, is found in forests at altitudes ranging from 0 to 2800 meters in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Myanmar. These woodpeckers are non-migratory resident birds, with populations living at higher altitudes descending to lower levels during winter. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

                Asian Openbill Stork In Anastomus Oscitans

                The Asian openbill or Asian openbill stork (Anastomus oscitans) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. This distinctive stork is found mainly in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is greyish or white with glossy black wings and tail, and the adults have a gap between the arched upper mandible and recurved lower mandible. Young birds are born without this gap, which is thought to be an adaptation that aids in the handling of snails, their main prey. Although they are resident within their range, they make long-distance movements in response to weather and food availability. This photo was taken at a wetland in Kaliganj, West Bengal, India, on 17/02/2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
