This research investigates the biology and culture techniques of Spodoptera litura, a destructive pest affecting various agricultural and horticultural crops worldwide, including India. The study was conducted under laboratory conditions in 2023 and further observations were obtain in 2024. The study focused on the developmental duration across different life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Findings revealed that female moths lay approximately 850-900 eggs, with incubation lasting 4.5±0.71 days. The larval stage comprises five instars, with the average durations for the first to fifth instars recorded as 2.50±0.71, 3.50±0.71, 2.50±0.71, 3.50±0.71 and 5.00±1.41 days, respectively. Adult longevity differed by sex, with males surviving 9.00±1.41 days and females 10.0±1.41 days. The complete life cycle from egg laying to adult emergence spanned an average of 30±2.82 days. The study concluded that castor serves as a suitable host for S. litura, facilitating vigorous larval feeding and subsequent pest proliferation. These insights contribute to understanding the life cycle dynamics and potential management strategies for this significant agricultural pest.

Argya striata is the scientific name for the jungle babbler. These jungle babblers are members of the Leiothrichidae family found in the Indian subcontinent. Jungle babbler is a gregarious bird that forages in small groups of six to ten birds, these birds are medium-sized babbler. They have different activities during the day and then a period of inactivity during the night. They are diurnal. Being omnivores, jungle babbler exhibits a diverse array of dietary preferences and feeding techniques. The study was conducted at Isabella Thoburn College from August 30, 2024 until February 28, 2025. To conduct the survey, the Focal sampling approach was used. The findings demonstrate that the jungle babbler exhibited bimodal patterns of diurnal activity, with two separate peaks occurring in the morning and the evening, the jungle babbler’s strong preference for human-provided food over insects and seeds explains their audacity or willingness to take risks. It was common practice to gnaw food as a feeding technique. It was discovered that jungle babbler could adjust to the resources at hand regardless of seasonal variations.
