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.

              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.

                      Ladybug Beetle (Coccinellidae) - Animal India

                      A Coccinellidae (ladybug or ladybird beetle) larva was observed on leaves in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 9, 2024. The larva displays a unique camouflage defense mechanism resembling a small jasmine flower to avoid predators. Typically found in shaded shrubs or bushes under tall trees, these larvae are vulnerable to heavy rain but may survive by sheltering beneath leaves. Most species in the Coccinellidae family are carnivorous predators, coexisting with other insects like ants, planthoppers, and treehoppers in their natural forest habitat.
