On a winter morning, a Peacock Pansy butterfly (Junonia almana) sits on a newspaper, basking in the sun in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on January 7, 2026. Peacock Pansy butterflies are territorial, basking, nectar-feeding insects that are vital pollinators found in open areas in Cambodia and South Asia. They are known for their strong, gliding flight and distinctive eyespots, which they use to startle predators. The butterfly relies on external heat sources to function, especially during the colder months when its metabolic activity is low. They exhibit seasonal polyphenism, with bright orange wings in the wet season and dull brown wings in the dry season for camouflage, along with aggressive behaviors like chasing intruders.

The Two-striped Jumper, or Telamonia dimidiata, is a jumping spider primarily found in various Asian tropical rainforests, particularly in the foliage of wooded, wet, and humid environments in countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, India, and Bhutan. It can also be found in parts of Europe and other regions worldwide, including the United States. The male spider is very dark with white markings and red hairs around the eyes. T. dimidiata produces no toxin significant to humans. Two-striped Jumping Spiders are opportunistic hunters, primarily preying on small insects like flies, moths, grasshoppers, beetles, and other spiders. They may also feed on available food sources such as fruits or nectar. On August 10, 2024, a male Two-striped Jumper spider (Telamonia dimidiata) was observed waiting on the edge of a guava leaf for its prey in Tehatta, West Bengal, India.
