A Mexican bean beetle pupa is seen on the underside of a leaf at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on July 1, 2025. The bright yellow, oval-shaped, soft-bodied larvae are covered with small black fuzzy spines and feed between the veins, removing the lower epidermis of the leaf. The upper epidermis dies, resulting in a transparent, lacy appearance. Damaged tissue falls out, and skeletonized leaves may curl and drop.

Scale insects are small herbivorous insects in the order Hemiptera that feed on plant sap by piercing tissues. These insects often have a mutualistic relationship with ants, which consume the honeydew and protect them from predators. Here, a scale insect falls into the water and swims in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on June 15, 2025.

A Eupterote mollifera caterpillar, commonly known as the Moringa hairy caterpillar, is seen covered in a white fungal growth after being infected by Isaria fungi on a Moringa tree (Moringa oleifera) trunk in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 29, 2024. Isaria, a genus of fungi primarily in the family Clavicipitaceae (or Cordycipitaceae, according to some classifications), infects insects by penetrating their cuticle with enzymes. Once inside, the fungus proliferates in the insect's haemocoel, spreading mycelia through the haemolymph and tissues. This fungal invasion eventually drains the insect's nutrients, destroys its tissues, and releases toxins, leading to the insect's death.

Slug, or land slug, is a common name for any apparently shell-less terrestrial gastropod Mollusca. Most species of slugs are generalists, feeding on a broad spectrum of organic materials, including leaves from living plants, lichens, mushrooms, and even carrion. Some slugs are predators and eat other slugs and snails, or earthworms. Slugs' bodies are made up mostly of water and, without a full-sized shell, their soft tissues are prone to desiccation. They must generate protective mucus to survive. Many species are most active just after rain because of the moist ground or during nighttime. An insect crawls on the floor of a house and shrinks when touched at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 28/09/2023.
