Lemon Pansy (Junonia lemonias). It is a common nymphalid butterfly found across South and Southeast Asia, often seen in gardens and open wooded areas.
The Reduviidae is a large cosmopolitan family of the suborder Heteroptera of the order Hemiptera (true bugs). Among the Hemiptera and together with the Nabidae almost all species are terrestrial ambush predators; most other predatory Hemiptera are aquatic. The main examples of non-predatory Reduviidae are some blood-sucking ectoparasites in the subfamily Triatominae, with a few species from South America noted for their ability to transmit Chagas disease. Though spectacular exceptions are known, most members of the family are fairly easily recognizable: they have a relatively narrow neck, sturdy build, and formidable curved proboscis (sometimes called a rostrum). Large specimens should be handled with caution, if at all, because they sometimes defend themselves with a very painful stab from the proboscis.
Our mint flowers are blooming and today
overwhelmed with creatures.

Hard at work.
A large lemon-yellow and black sawfly, Tenthedro notha. Very similar to T. arcuata and T. brevicornis. The species are very difficult to separate without detailed examination. Given that the Image was taken in August would suggest that the species is unlikely to be T. arcuata which flies quite early.

Temperatures were in the 40's today so she wasn't moving very fast. I got this at about 5 inches distance.

We have many many more bumble bees this year. They seem to be a bit aggressive as well.

To busy to notice me. I can get pretty close to the carpenter male carpenter bees.

Sindhudurg marsh dart (Ceriagrion chromothorax) is a species of damselflies found in South India. It was discovered only recently in 2019 by two Mumbai scientists - Shantanu Joshi and Dattaprasad Sawant.
We were lucky to find this on one of our excursions near my native place in the Indian western ghats.
It actually is the slug moth caterpillar. These moths are named after their short, fleshy, sluglike caterpillars. In the caterpillars, suckers have replaced the typical larval prolegs, and the larvae seem to glide rather than crawl. Some larvae are brightly coloured and have stinging hairs capable of causing a rash in humans who touch them.
A Common grass yellow butterfly (Eurema hecabe) nectaring on the Leea indica flower. These are small butterflies, and generally found in open grassland or scrubland, hence the name.
Although it is one of the most common butterflies found in the Indian subcontinent, it is a very quick flier and very diificult to be found sitting in one place for sufficient time to photograph.
This one, however was probably hungry and didn't mind me getting close and clicking a couple of shots while it was drinking nectar.
