Turmeric, or Curcuma longa, is a flowering plant in the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. The root of Curcuma longa is where turmeric is derived from. It is a perennial, rhizomatous, herbaceous plant native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It thrives in temperatures between 20 and 30?C (68 and 86?F) and requires high annual rainfall. The plants are harvested annually for their rhizomes, some of which are used for propagation in the following season, while others are consumed. Numerous high-quality studies and research indicate that turmeric contains compounds with medicinal properties. These have significant benefits for the body and brain, and are beneficial for conditions like osteoarthritis, obesity, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Turmeric is also good for the liver and acts as an antifungal and antibacterial agent. Many of these benefits are attributed to its main active ingredient, curcumin. Turmeric is also the spice that gives curry its yellow color and has been used in India for thousands of years as both a spice and a medicinal herb.

Cocoa beans native to the Amazon rainforest are the basis of chocolate, and Mesoamerican foods including tejate, an indigenous Mexican drink. It was first domesticated 5,300 years ago in South America before being introduced to Central America by the Olmecs. The fruit is large and oblong with a hard exterior shell that must be cracked open before discover the treasures that lie inside. The white fruit surrounding the cacao bean can be eaten raw. In fact, the fleshy pulp (as the fruit is commonly referred to) is consumed in countries where cacao is grown and is praised for its flavor and nutritional benefits. Bengal is not known for the cultivation of this fruit. Bengal is not known for the cultivation of this fruit, so experimentally trying to understand whether it is possible to grow this fruit, in the West Bengal atmosphere at Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Sargachi at Beldanga, West Bengal; India on 22/6/2023.

The larva or caterpillar of Arctiinae or tiger moth family of Erebidae (superfamily Noctuoidea) does not drink water. They normally obtain sufficient fluids from the food plants that they eat. This caterpillar benefits from rain or other moisture reaching them, they use moisture to keep them from drying out too much. This caterpillar has a tendency to wander right before they pupate or become chrysalis. This caterpillars' defense system at the tip of each defensive hair is a microscopic barb with a weakened ring at the base, allowing the barb to easily break off in the skin of any animal that grabs onto them can be a cause of Lepidopterism. A fuzzy hairy caterpillar of tiger moth others have gone hiking on the walls to reach the scanty water lying on the wall at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 11/06/2023.
