King Alfred's Cakes (Daldinia concentrica), also known as cramp balls or coal fungus, is an ancient firelighting fungus of the Hypoxylaceae family. This fungus looks like a hard, roundish lump of coal stuck to dead and decaying wood. The fruit of this fungus is hemispherical, with a hard, friable, shiny black fruiting body 2 to 7 centimeters wide. Daldinia concentrica is a useful tinder for starting fires. It is best when it is completely dry and black, and can be lit with flint and steel. It burns slowly, like charcoal, and produces a strong smoke, used in cooking at a campfire. In traditional African medicine, Daldinia concentrica is used to treat many diseases. In some regions of Ivory Coast, it is also used as a contraceptive agent. King Alfred's Cakes (Daldinia concentrica) fungus is on a dead tree in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 17, 2024.

Acherontia lachesis, the Greater Death's Head Hawkmoth or Bee Robber, is a large (up to 13 cm wingspan) sphingid moth found in the Oriental region, from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Nepal to the Philippines, and from southern Japan and the southern Russian Far East to Indonesia, where it attacks colonies of several different honey bee species. It is recently becoming established in the Hawaiian Islands. It is a nocturnal hawkmoth also known as 'bee robbers' because they are very fond of honey; they can mimic the scent of honey bees so that they can enter a hive unharmed to get honey. Their tongue, which is stout and very strong, enables them to pierce the wax cells and suck the honey out. Here, this Death's-head Hawkmoth (Acherontia lachesis) is sitting on the door frame as if a monk is meditating in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on June 19, 2024.
