An Asian house gecko or common house gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) hangs from the iron rod of a window by its two hind legs in an acrobatic manner, much like a gymnast, as it prepares to jump to the next rod in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on September 8, 2024. These geckos are nocturnal, hiding during the day and foraging for insects at night. They are often seen climbing the walls of houses and other buildings in search of insects attracted to porch lights, and are easily recognizable by their characteristic chirping sound.

The 28-spotted Potato Ladybird or the Hadda Beetles (Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata) are destroying a bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) plant by breaking off and eating its flowers, and their larvae grubs are scraping the leaves together by the lower epidermis of leaves in a characteristic manner, leaving behind stripes of uneaten areas. The leaves are giving a stifled appearance and are being eaten off, leaving only the veins intact (skeletonization), and the plants may wither. Sometimes these beetle pairs are mating in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on July 6, 2024.
