Indo-Pacific Gecko (Hemidactylus Garnotii) - Animal India

An Indo-Pacific Gecko (Hemidactylus garnotii), also known as Garnot's House Gecko or the Fox Gecko, is seen attempting to enter a switchboard in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 13, 2024. This nocturnal species, found across India, the Philippines, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Polynesia, is unique for its parthenogenic reproduction, as all individuals are female and lay eggs that hatch without male fertilization. Geckos entering electrical systems can pose risks, potentially causing electrical faults, appliance failures, and even fires. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

              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.

                      Peucetia Viridana - Green Lynx Spide R- Animal India

                      A green lynx spider (Peucetia viridana) is seen camouflaged among the green leaves on a branch of a Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), or Tulsi plant, as it patiently waits for prey in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 9, 2024. Known for its agility, this spider doesn't build webs but instead stalks its prey, launching an attack similar to a lynx in the wild. With a green cephalothorax marked by brown spots, a spine-covered head region, and a narrow abdomen with a central brown line and lateral branches, Peucetia viridana is an effective natural predator in agricultural pest management. Feeding on crop pests like moths and their larvae, these spiders serve as a natural insecticide, helping to control harmful pests in a sustainable way. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
