The name death's-head hawkmoth refers to any of three moth species of the genus Acherontia (Acherontia atropos, Acherontia styx and Acherontia lachesis). The former species is found in Europe and throughout Africa, the latter two are Asian; most uses of the common name refer to the European species. These moths are easily distinguishable by the vaguely human skull-shaped pattern of markings on the thorax. They are large nocturnal moths with brown and yellow or orange coloring, and all three species are fairly similar in size, coloration and life cycle.

Clicked a longhorn beetle(cerambycidae -நீள்கொம்பு வண்டு ) last week... My first click of this kind...

The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae; also known as long-horned or longhorn beetles or longicorns) are a cosmopolitan family of beetles typically characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. Is considered mostly as a invasive pest which bore wood

The scientific name of this beetle family goes back to a figure from Greek mythology: after an argument with nymphs, the shepherd Cerambus was transformed into a large beetle with horns.

Got a impressive catch today dusky evening... INDIAN DUSK HAWKER aka BROWN DARNER female (gynacantha dravida)
It belonged to the family aeshnide and was largely found in india and srilanka only..

It is a large sized dragonfly characterized by their homogeneous colouring of dull browns and greens, by the long and thin a**l appendages and, lastly, by their crepuscular habits. Their principal food appears to be mosquitoes and microlepidoptera. During the day they rest in dark thickets. Fully matured specimens have bright colours; blues and greens developing very late in life. Young specimens have brown color with some dark shades. Females are exactly similar to the males in colors and markings.
