Potanthus is a large genus of the Hesperiidae family, also known as skipper butterflies. They are commonly referred to as darts and are predominantly found in Asia. The genus comprises about 35 species, all of which appear very similar and are often only reliably identifiable through the examination of the male genitalia. As a result, they cannot be easily identified based on external traits, such as wing patterns. In India, there are 19 species of Potanthus. When sitting, this butterfly orients its wings towards the sun, and the wing splits often make it resemble a fighter jet parked at an air base. A skipper butterfly was observed sitting on the leaves in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 20, 2024.

The wasp-mimicking hoverfly (Mesembrius sp.) is bright yellow in color with black stripes and can be found in Australia, India, England, and the UK. There are three conspicuous black markings on the thorax, and the abdomen is banded with black and yellow. In the 2nd segment, the black bands are connected by a median band. The wings are tinted with a pale brown. This fly is commonly found either resting on leaves or feeding on flowers. Its warning colors are effective at mimicking a wasp. It has short antennae and a single pair of wings, indicating it is a fly. Hoverflies have smaller antennae and larger eyes than wasps and bees, with their eyes appearing to wrap around their head. The wing-vein pattern helps to identify it as a hoverfly. This photo was taken in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 07/03/2024.
