The Purple Sunbird (Cinnyris asiaticus) is a small bird, measuring about 10 centimeters, found mainly in South and Southeast Asia and the Arabian Peninsula. They are feeding mainly on nectar but are consuming insects, especially when feeding their young. Purple Sunbirds are having a fast and direct flight and can take nectar by hovering like hummingbirds, though they are often perching at the base of flowers. The breeding male is a metallic blue and purple overall with maroon feathers on the breast. Here, a male Purple Sunbird is feeding his newborn baby chick while flying in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on June 23, 2024.

Winged termites, also known as alates, are attracted to light and are often the first sign of a termite infestation. They can be seen flying towards windows, light fixtures, and other sources of light like street lamps and porch lights in the late afternoon and early evening, like most nocturnal insects. Flying termites become visible when their colony swarms. Heavy rainfall and warm, humid temperatures provoke swarms, among other triggers. After a few minutes, flying termites shed their wings and crawl around on the floor, eventually dying. Termites (Isoptera) are invertebrates belonging to the detritophagous eusocial group of insects, which eat decaying plant material like wood, leaf litter, and soil humus. They are sometimes called ''white ants'' because of their pale color and physical similarities to ants. Here, swarms of alates are flying around an LED light bulb, while a common house gecko lizard waits to prey on them at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on May 28, 2024.
