Homemade Bird Trap

The homemade birds trap you see here is made of a curved iron rod (semi-circle), a piece of rubber and two wooden sticks (one thin stick in shape of semi circle and other a little bit tick and straight). Some time ago this type of traps were very common, but now people almost stopped using these traps, however still some people particularly kids are using them. Personally, I will never recommend this trap for trapping birds, because it can harm the birds and even can kill them, if not removed immediately. In coming days I will show you how to make this simple bird trap.

Peacock Pansy Butterfly

The Peacock Pansy (Junonia almana) is a medium size butterfly (wingspan 60-65 mm) that belong to family nymphalid. This specie is found in South Asia. There is a difference in wet season and dry season species. The wings of the dry season specie are highly angular while the underside is dull and cryptic, hence the specie look like a dry leaf from underside. In both species the upper side is orange-yellow in color, having two eye spots on each wing. The eye spot on the upper margin of the hind wing is comparatively large.

Raindrops

I shot these raindrops pictures in August 2009. Last year from mid August to mid September we received a few monsoon rains and after that we didn't receive any significant rain. The wheat crop of barani (rainy) areas which depends on rainfall for its growth is almost wilted. As we already facing shortage of wheat, the dry weather will worse the situation. There is also a fear among the farmer regarding the shortage of fodder for their cattle. Besides the crops damage, dry weather is also contributing to transmission of viral infections. The number of patients with diseases like influenza, bronchitis, asthma, soar throat, chest infection, pneumonia and cough increasing day by day. Through this post I want to make a request to the world community to pray for us, so that God bless us with rain.

Pet Monkey

Some people like monkeys and keep them as pet. But whenever I see a monkey with a chain or rope in the neck, I feel pity for it. I'm not concerned with whether keeping monkeys as pets are good or bad, rather I'm concerned about their proper care, including food, cleanliness, caging and proper health care. I'm also concerned with the harm or diseases they can pass to human. Anyhow in the country where people facing shortage of food and health facilities, how would these pets get proper attention and care?

My Favorite Walking Track

The track on the left side of Pehur canal is a best walking track for the villagers of Bamkhel, Baja and Kalabat. It's my favorite track for walking and I always try to compel my friends to walk on this track. Actually I like the tracks with almost no traffic and free from dust. This track satisfies both criteria and that is why I prefer it.

Sickle-bearing Bush-cricket

Sickle-bearing Bush-cricket (Phaneroptera falcata) belong to family Tettigoniidae (Katydids or Bush-crickets), subfamily Phaneropterinae. They are very similar to great green bush-crickets, but have slenderer bodies and longer hind pair of legs. In great green bush-cricket both wings are of the same length, while in the Sickle-bearing Bush-cricket the top wing is shorter. They have very long hind wings almost double the body length.
