Weaver Ants
Sighted on: 17.May.2023
A Weaver Ant queen lays her first clutch of eggs on a leaf and protects and feeds the larvae until they become mature workers. The workers then construct leaf nests and help rear a new brood laid by the queen. As the number of workers increases, more nests are built and the colony productivity and growth increase significantly. Workers perform tasks essential to colony survival, including foraging, nest construction, and colony defence. Chemical and tactile communication signals facilitate the exchange of information and modulation of worker behaviour during worker-worker interactions. These signals are used primarily in the contexts of foraging and colony defence. Successful foragers lay down pheromone trails that help recruit other workers for new food sources. Patrollers also use pheromone trails to recruit workers against territorial intruders.

Indian Bull Frog
Sighted on: 19.May.2023
It is said that when you smile, it takes your worries away. As the lights go out, bullfrogs steadily creep out of his pond, smile at their beautiful surroundings, and eat any animal that fits their large mouth. During the Night Trail, we watched an Indian Bull Frog as it hung around at the bullfrog pond.
