Each time you enter the jungles of central India you are in the realm of some of the most varied wildlife in India. This time we were out searching for the reclusive Teer/ Arrowhead - named by Ajinder Singh for the distinct arrow or “teer” on his forehead. Born in February 2023, he was one of 3 cubs from the 5th litter of the Legendary Talabwali Tigress with Zanjeer.

The Asilidae are the robber fly family, also called Assassin Flies. It is one of the largest families in Diptera Brachycera. The adults and larvae are predaceous on other insects, especially on plant-feeding insects, and thus help in the natural control of insects. They are world wide in distribution, represented by about 5000 species belonging to over 400 genera. Only about 750 species under 80 genera are known from the Oriental Region, of which 300 species and 45 genera are from India. Stenopogon is a genus in the family Asilidae with at least 200 described species. Today is about one of them from the Kawal Tiger Reserve.

The elusive leopard, a ghost of the forests, is often hailed as its most elegant dweller. The area around the Tipai Mata temple in Tipeshwar is a compact patch of dense forest cover with a number of old and mature trees and is prime habitat for leopards. It was about 7am on the morning of 8th June when we got word of this leopard lazing in a tree just below the mandir.

The Indian Bark Mantis (Humbertiella ceylonica), is a species of praying mantis found throughout India. It is well-known for its excellent camouflage, resembling tree bark, hence the name. As its name suggests it generally lives on the bark of trees and its color and texture closely match the bark of trees, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its environment. Like other mantises, they are ambush predators, patiently waiting for prey to come within reach before striking primarily feeding on insects and other arthropod.
