    The Mumbai region is home to several #species many of which still remain undiscovered, and are likely new to #science.

  15. And yet, this globally invasive, pugnacious little 'tramp ant', tends to the caterpillars of the pea-blue (Lampides boeticus), a legally protected native #butterfly (pictured below).

    *Pea-blue butterfly 📸 at #Powai, #Mumbai, March 2023.

  16. Environments in which most native plants wouldn't survive.

    'Noxious weeds' aren't necessarily noxious everywhere they grow. And under right conditions, actively support native wildlife

    📸 31 JAN 2023 (15:48 hrs.) near Lilavati Podar School, #Powai, #Hiranandani, #Mumbai. (3/3).

  17. A tiny grass blue (Zizula hylax) stops for a sip of nectar on Purple Lantana (Lantana montevidensis) blossoms, spilling over a compound wall at Hiranandani Gardens, #Powai - one of #India, #Mumbai's most busiest, and upscale townships.

  18. Apefly (Spalgis epius epius).

    A rarity among Indian butterflies, the Apefly's caterpillar is a carnivore which feeds on scale insects, and mealybugs.

    The delicate looking, snow-white adults are strong fliers, which will often perch on trees.

    Females have no specific host plant, and will deposit eggs wherever the intended prey of its future progeny is found.

  19. Looking much like the Water type Legendary #Pokemon #Kyogre, an albino giant river catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) peacefully swims in the waterways of Niravana park, #Hiranandani #gardens, #Powai as visitors to the park (sounds left in), enjoy a slice of #nature in the middle of #India's largest #metropolis, #Mumbai.

    Endangered in its native #Thailand, the species has been widely introduced in the country as food, and ornamentation.

  21. Scarlet skimmer (Crocothemis servilia) ♂️

  22. Hundreds of Black Kites (Milvus migrans) swarm the salmon pink skies of urban Mumbai one last time, before returning to roost for the night, as the last rays of the sun ebb.

    All of this, right next to a busy road, where indifferent traffic rushes past🚦🛺 🚚 (traffic sounds left in intentionally).

    Where else in the world can you see such dichotomy?

  23. Asiatic Bloodtail (Lathrecista asiatica).

    A stunning, yet shy #dragon associated with marshlands surrounding freshwater bodies, woodlands, and shallow forest pools.

    Has a strong flight.

    Males settle often, preferring high perches. Females rarely sighted.

  24. Malaysian False Pimpernel (Lindernia crustacea).

    A moisture loving, ground hugging, mat-forming #herb, bearing dainty pale blue-purple #flowers

    Found in wetlands, and urban habitats, thickets can be spotted growing in pavement cracks, in the parks and gardens of #Mumbai.

    Native to tropical #Asia, but found growing in most parts of the world, including #Africa, and the #Americas.

    📸 25 AUG 2021 (12:16 hrs.), at #Powai Lake promenade, Mumbai.

  25. Tricolour Pied Flat (Coladenia indrani).

    Widespread across India. Skulks underside leaves, in shade, but also flies in the open to nectar from flowers, or bask on the undergrowth.
