Re: jugnu, titlian aur gulherian
Our house is in Model Town, Lahore and i remember seeing flat & dried frogs on the roads on our way to school. Dhoti Mein Dhamaka would know what am talking about. Frogs of all sizes - from very very tiny to the big ones.
and yes a lot of squirrels in Lawrance Garden.

Re: jugnu, titlian aur gulherian
Thanx for the observations.. impact of environment may be at different levels in Pakistan.. i live in medel town lahore which is comparitively a greener part of town and has maintained its green impact remarkably.... in one generation there has been a marked change in the species I mentioned.. I usually spend the eve in my garden with kids.. As I mentioned, there seems to be no jugnus (firefly) and butterflies are so rare - they used to be filled in our place with so many amazing colors.. squirrels are are too..
do you remember those dead frogs on the roads.
I remember those ladybugs too in model town park & NS park.
yea and also that distinct smell of plants in model town - i so miss that.

Re: jugnu, titlian aur gulherian
this is so sad...i remember running after jugnu as a child catching them in a jar...i even had a pet butterfly ( :) ha! yes from a science sleepover for girl scouts got him as a caterpillar...and let him go as a butterfly).
What are gulerian?
Re: jugnu, titlian aur gulherian
These three species have gone away or died in Lahore.. in my childhood we used to have titlian and gulherian all over our place - whereas, gugnus were like stars in our hedges.. I was trying to show my son what jugnu was - and wasnt able to find one.. titlian are rare and gulherian all gone.. I travel in remote places of Punjab and even there thes ethings are extinct.. I was stold that insecticide sprayes have destroyed them.. it would become like fairy tales to kids in future.. what a loss!
