Striped lynx spider (Oxyopes salticus) is a species of lynx spider. Its habitat tends to be grasses and leafy vegetation; grassy, weedy fields, and row crops. Adult specimens have some color variation between orange, cream, and brown. Adult females typically have stripes on both the carapace and abdomen, though on many specimens, the stripes are more pronounced on the abdomen. This spider has pedipalps (commonly shortened to palps or palpi) like 'boxing gloves'. There is generally a diamond cardiac mark, and macrosetae covering legs I-IV. There is a broad clypeus. Adult females range in size from 5-6mm, and adult males range in size from 4-5mm. A striped lynx spider spider hides behind the leaves of a tree to catch its prey at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on october 08, 2023.

Oecophylla smaragdina (common names include Asian weaver ant, weaver ant, green ant, green tree ant, semut rangrang, semut kerangga, and orange gaster) is a species of arboreal ant found in tropical Asia and Australia. Weaver ants live in trees (they are obligately arboreal) and are known for their unique nest-building behavior where workers construct nests by weaving together leaves using larval silk. Weaver ants prey on small insects and supplement their diet with carbohydrate-rich honeydew excreted by small insects (Hemiptera). Weaver ant workers exhibit a clear bimodal size distribution, with almost no overlap between the size of the minor and major workers. Workers and major workers are mostly coloured orange. The major workers are approximately 8-10 mm (0.31-0.39 in) in length and the minors are approximately half the length of the majors. Major workers forage, defend, maintain, and expand the colony whereas minor workers tend to stay within the nests where they care for the brood and 'milk' scale insects in or close to the nests. Because they prey on insects harmful to their host trees, weaver ants are sometimes used by indigenous farmers, particularly in Southeast Asia, as natural biocontrol agents against agricultural pests. Although weaver ants lack a functional sting they can inflict painful bites and often spray formic acid directly at the bite wound resulting in intense discomfort. The Asian weaver ant workers have brought leaves to block the gap of the entrance before the rains come at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 16/08/2023.

Carpenter ants (Camponotus spp.), also known as sugar ants, are large (0.3 to 1.0 in or 0.76 to 2.54 cm) ants indigenous to many forested parts of the world. Carpenter ant species reside both outdoors and indoors in moist, decaying, or hollow wood, most commonly in forest environments. Camponotus compressus is a species of ant found in India and Southeast Asia. It is a frequent visitor to toilets as it consumes urea. It is one of the many species which tends plant-sap-sucking insects like aphids and treehoppers. These ants stroke their antenna on the hind parts of these insects stimulating them to excrete a sugar rich liquid, called honeydew, which the ants consume. A Carpenter ant (Camponotus compressus) was roaming on a leaf in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 23/04/2022.
