NDA Road is surrounded by hills and dense trees of different varieties. This offers perfect life for variety of insects, birds and animals. In this blog I am trying to showcase the rich nature of NDA Road.
Almost all kind of different can be seen here. NDA road forest gives the perfect condition for all kind of insects. Very few insects survive on vegetation but most of them hunt for their daily diet needs. You can see of some these insects here.
And yes there are Robberflies around!! they usually prefer scattered vegetation as chances of getting prey is more often. Robberflies are aggressive predators. They are often seen waiting on a perch and attack other insects and take them down in flight. This bahavior gave them a name Robberfly.
Some of these insects would do complete makeover and transform into something else!! Below caterpillars will soon be turning into Butterflies. Many kind of butterflies can be seen including - Swallowtails, Whites & Yellows, Blues & Coppers, Metalmarks, Brush-footed, Skippers and Moths. Some butterflies migrate over long distance, some travel shorter distance and there are few who are permanent residents. Some of the butterflies are considered as pests as their caterpillars can easily ruin crops and plants. Some of them are required for pollination for certain plants. Some of them are even useful as during larval stage they eat harmful insects.
Insects and Butterflies are prey for many other organism including Birds. And hence one can see many varieties of Birds too at NDA road. NDA road is famous for peacocks. But there are more species of Flycatchers nd other visitors. Commonly seen birds include Hornbill, Iora, Robin, Weaver bird, different varieties of Prinias etc.
