Pedwali, right after crossing the river, walked headon right behind our gypsy through the most breathtaking frame. She was surrounded by a sea or Ageratum; which only blooms in February and March. For a moment, time stood still. A perfect setting, a gorgeous frame and a tigress in all her glory.

Priyanka Gandhi

Mumbai (Maharashtra)

About Photographer
It’s always been my dream to be a wildlife photographer. When I was 15 I bought my first camera but I never got the chance to go to a national park. A few years later, I went to my first national park and never looked back ever since. I’m an amateur photographer who is still learning but I’m definitely glad that I’m following my passion and doing what I love!

Katydid in Rain I captured this photo of a Katydid in Amboli, Maharashtra. It was raining. The katydid's translucent body glowed beautifully when I lit it from behind with a torch. The raindrops added to the scene, creating a magical and atmospheric mood.

This is a unique presentation of mating pair. In the season of monsoon we get mating of stink bug. Urolabida histrionica is a species of Stink Bug from the Family Urostylididae. This is a green coloured stink bug mating image. Each year in monsoon season we can find this bug everywhere in my locality. It has bright green, yellow and golden colours in back. It has 3 pairs of legs and a pair of long horn. I have shot this image in teak wood forest locally called “SAL BON” which was made by Royal Rajas of Cooch Behar about 250 years ago. Their live cycle starts from first rain and ends with monsoon. In this period they mate, lay eggs, babies hatches etc. The insects that are born at a certain time of the year and disappear after that period also have an important role in nature. Their numbers is decreasing day by day as the housing is increasing due to deforestation.

Strategic Stalker Amidst the awe-inspiring panorama of Monigong, Arunachal Pradesh, a lynx spider orchestrates its ambush on a thickhead weed against the majestic Himalayan mountains and the vast blue sky. With meticulous precision, this arachnid predator employs its cunning hunting strategy, patiently awaiting unsuspecting prey. The spider, positioned above the flower and matching the colour of the flower, intensifies its stealth, keenly anticipating the arrival of prey to land.
