Now is the time when you witness parts of the Western Ghats aglow — trees flashing with thousands of fireflies in near-unison, signalling for mates before the rains arrive. This March, scientists published India's first-ever firefly checklist: 92 species, more than 60% found nowhere else on Earth. Over 50 haven't been seen since the 1800s. Fireflies are bioindicators — and now there's finally a baseline to track them. indiawildlifenews.com/2026/0… #IndiaWildlifeNews #WhenWildThingsMakeHeadlines #Fireflies #WesternGhats #Bioluminescence #InsectConservation Fireflies.

A ₹75-lakh insect hiding in a rotting log? Deep in the forests of Nagaland and the Western Ghats lives a creature that sounds almost mythical—the antler stag beetle. With mandibles shaped like antlers, males use them in fierce contests over territory and mates. Writer Femi Benny recounts sitting in a quiet village in the Phek district, speaking with farmers about edible insects expecting the usual: termites, hornets—when someone casually said, "There's a beetle here worth ₹75 lakhs.” Found in decaying logs across northeastern India, these members of the Lucanidae aren’t just rare, they’re highly sought after in international insect markets. Males grapple with their antler-like jaws, lifting and flipping rivals off tree trunks to claim space and a chance to impress a watching female. But there’s a darker side to this story. The loss of deadwood driven by deforestation, plantation management, and firewood collection has become one of the most serious threats to stag beetles, shrinking their range in India and beyond.

Tinkle and ATREE presents: Poo Patrol! Dung beetles are nature’s unsung heroes, tirelessly recycling waste to keep ecosystems healthy. By breaking down animal waste, these tiny insects enrich soil fertility, improve water absorption, and maintain ecological balance. ATREE’s Insect Biosystematics and Conservation Lab studies these fascinating creatures, shedding light on their critical role in nutrient cycling. However, their habitats face increasing threats from land-use changes and pesticide overuse. Check out the comic is inspired by the work of ATREE researchers Seena Narayanan Karimbumkara and Priyadarsanan Dharma Rajan. atree.org/wp-content/uploads… #NatureRecyclers #DungBeetles #ATREE #TinkleComics #EcosystemHeroes #Biodiversity #SoilHealth #ConservationMatters #SustainableFutures #Agroforestry #InsectConservation #WildlifeResearch #ProtectNature

It is hard to believe it has been 18 years since Steve Irwin left us. He taught me that the key to preserving wildlife and the environment was getting people to love wildlife as much as he did. RIP. #steveirwin #entomemeology #conservation #entomology #insectconservation
