After heavy rain in the last few days, large numbers of unidentified winged insects emerged in our backyard. Other animals had a field day, picking them off in midair and on the ground. In the space of about fifteen minutes, I saw white-throated kingfishers, sparrows, common mynas, pied mynas, common tailorbirds and (I think) an oriental garden lizard – all preying on the luckless insects.
