🟢 Nature’s Little Architects: The Fascinating World of Weaver Ants 🟢
Did you know that some ants are expert engineers who use their own larvae as living glue sticks to weave leaves together and build nests in trees? 🌿🐜
In my latest article, I dive into the incredible lives of Weaver Ants — from their teamwork in nest-building to the queen’s power of choosing the gender of her offspring. You’ll even find surprising cultural connections, like scenes from the movie ANTZ that reflect their real-life society! 🎥✨

✨ New Article Out! ✨

This September, as India celebrates Big Butterfly Month, I decided to share not just the story of butterflies, but also my own journey with them—from rearing my first caterpillar in 1992, to launching Breakfast with Butterflies, building butterfly gardens across India, and shaping initiatives through iNaturewatch Foundation, Ladybird Environmental Consulting, and Birdwing Publishers.

🦋 The article explores:

* Why butterflies matter as pollinators, storytellers, and ecological thermometers
* The conception and growth of Big Butterfly Month as a pan-India citizen science movement
* Anecdotes, trivia, and inspiring moments from butterfly walks and gardens
* How each of us can do our bit—by planting, observing, and celebrating butterflies locally

💡 This is more than a festival. It’s a reminder that when butterflies thrive, so does our world.
