An adult female Anopheles mosquito bites a human body to begin its blood meal at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 24/02/2023. Part of the genus Anopheles, the mosquitoes are capable of carrying and transmitting one of the five single-celled parasite species that cause malaria. Researchers looked at a dataset spanning from 1898 to 2016 and found malaria-carrying Anopheles mosquitoes' territory grew southward by an average of about 310 miles during that 118-year time span. According to WHO's latest World malaria report, there were an estimated 241 million malaria cases and 627 000 malaria deaths worldwide in 2020.

The Jewel Wasp or Emerald cockroach wasp (Ampulex compressa) is a solitary wasp of the family Ampulicidae. It is known for its unusual reproductive behaviour, which involves stinging a cockroach and using it as a host for its larvae. The wasp injects venom directly into the cockroach's two specific spots in the brain, zombifying it to control its behaviour and dragging the victim into the den, then feeding its live tissues to her babies. This photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal, India on july19, 2022.

Sceliphron, also known as black mud daubers or black mud-dauber wasps, is a genus of Hymenoptera of the Sphecidae family of wasps. They are solitary mud daubers and are building nests made of mud. Nests are frequently being constructed in shaded niches, often just inside windows or vent openings, and it may take a female only a day to construct a cell requiring dozens of trips carrying mud. Females of some species are laying a modest average of 15 eggs over their whole lifespan. Various parasites are attacking these nests, including several species of cuckoo wasps, primarily by sneaking into the nest while the resident mud dauber is out foraging. Like other solitary wasps, Sceliphron species are not being aggressive unless threatened. They are sometimes being regarded as beneficial due to their control of spider populations. This photo was taken in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on June 24, 2024.
