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.

A Oriental Garden lizard (Calotes versicolor) on a decaying tree emerged in the Moragahakanda Reservoir on September 2, 2023, in Moragahakanda, Sri Lanka. The Moragahakanda Project, which started work on January 25, 2007, is one of the largest irrigation projects built in Sri Lanka. The amount spent on this project is 4,500 lakh US dollars. In addition, the total water capacity of this reservoir is 570 million cubic liters. This project will be used for drinking water supply, power generation, drinking water supply, and freshwater fisheries. Due to the drought that has affected Sri Lanka at present, reservoirs have dried up in many parts of the country. Due to this, the farmers as well as the people are suffering from a lack of drinking water. Some water sources have completely dried up, and some water sources can only see a limited amount of water. With the emptying of some reservoirs, the ruins of the villages that were submerged in water for these reservoirs have emerged. People have started gathering in these areas to witness this event. Here, it is special to be able to see houses, schools, and religious shrines submerged in water for these projects. Also, due to the lack of water in these reservoirs, freshwater fish resources are also threatened with extinction. Although Sri Lanka receives a little rain from time to time, it has not yet rained enough to fill the reservoirs.
