I have been travelling a lot since my childhood. In fact i have visited almost all the religious and pilgrimage places across India. I have cherished great moments that i have captured it on my camera every place i have visited. I have started this blog to share my experiences at the places visited.All the photographs published in this blog have been taken by me.

Preying For Survival?


                            We all know that hunting is an art and is practised by human beings for the Animal skins,Food,etc and done by wild animals for Survival.This is the small story of LIZ(Lizard) and SECT(Insect).

                  On the balcony of the house i live, there is a shed with Asbestos sheet covered as roof.The entire story is based on Hunting for a prey for survival and how LIZ has mastered the art of hunting.It was late in the evening and the lights were on.As it was little chilly, i prepared some coffee for myself and entered the balcony with Coffee mug in one hand and Camera in the other.I wanted to check the photos that i had taken in the evening.I noticed some movement under the behind the light that was fixed to the wall. LIZ slowly started moving out and i wondered what might be the reason.


                         I slowly switched on my camera and moved closer towards LIZ. I could feel the energy and enthusiasm LIZ was showing.Normally when human beings move towards Lizards, they run and take shelter.That was not the case with LIZ.


                       Suddenly my eyes fell on SECT.He was perched near the Electric cable pipe fixed to the wall. All his six legs moving very slowly with his tentacles sensing the dangers and safety of the path ahead. He was attracted towards the glare of the light that was on.


    

               LIZ started moving slowly towards the Pipes and he found himself a perfect place from where he can easily Prey on SECT.
                        Unable to sense the danger that was ahead to his life, the SECT slowly climbed the Circle shaped Junction Box and his mere sight made LIZ to be more alert as his anticipation about SECT coming near the Pipes was true.LIZ did not move.He knew that SECT would fly away even if a slightest movement is sensed by him.Slowly but surely SECT was moving towards a trap laid by LIZ.He had moved to a distance that was enough for LIZ to have a decent starter if not Supper. Within fraction of a second, LIZ had preyed on SECT and devoured him.

                          After having SECT for a good starter, LIZ was lucky enough to find another insect falling to his trap and finished his supper/dinner.

                         The Creation of the Universe is so beautiful that the creator has given the strength to each and every Living Organism not only to survive, but has put in enough knowledge to be successful with the sources of survival at one's disposal.
