Fungi can be crazy like this Ophiocordyceps that turns the ants zombies! Lucky to have spotted one last year in Kudremukh under the leaf. More on the zombie story here -

Tired after a long-haul flight, came home; to discover my 1st ever children's book on fossils had arrived! 1st of its kind in India. For kids to be motivated, inspired by the glory of LIFE. Thanks, @LuisVRey, @ArchyaDasgupta @SMNStuttgart,@ThePalAss for your immense support!

@vvrobin https://t.co/H7rldNoH76 traces origins to the African baobabs and https://t.co/GA6d8VJOky The Hyderabad one apparently is 450 odd years old and how it landed there by anthropogenic means is a mystery

[Chandu Bandi @chan_ter]

@YSRhere @HemaShares https://t.co/UdrEVyLmzS This is a nice paper that traced the origins of Baobab in Indian subcontinent.

A tiger beetle unseen from past 200+ years in India and a detailed note by shyamal on the same is worth a read https://t.co/gLPPXhPyI4

Observing things in nature is like a treasure hunt, only if you have desire and time to observe, question & find answers. One can unearth "treasures" that can enrich knowledge and "leaves" you spell-bound.A Female leaf cutter bee lays egg in cut leaf nest & loads them with pollen

Smitten by tiger beetles! Three varieties in urban habitat (two inside a school compound) and one at the outskirts, wishing to spot more. How many have you noticed? Go out and look for these beauties

@vinaynx I would rate Kudremukh as one of the best treks down south, stream crossing adventure, shola forests, flora and fauna, the green views makes it a heavenly place, that 18 kms of hike is worth it all
