Most Common Insects
1. American cockroach
Despite its name, american cockroach (Periplaneta americana) is not native to the Americas but rather to Africa and the Middle East, from which it arrived as a result of human commercial patterns. Notably quick and rather resilient, this species is capable of limb regeneration. It requires a certain level of moisture to thrive, and it will avoid drier areas unless it has access to the required level of water.
2. Pachylis laticornis
3. Gray wall jumper
The female gray wall jumper lays her eggs in cracks or other hidden areas. The young and mature spiders feed on flies, making them useful residents in a household. They do not make webs, but carefully hunt and jump on their prey.
4. Silver argiope
The silver argiope (Argiope argentata) often creates unique zigzag patterns on its webs. It's usually found in warm, dry areas, especially on cacti and aloe vera plants. The females are much larger than males. They can bite and cause irritation to the skin, but the damage won't be life-threatening.
5. Hieroglyphic moth
Diphthera festiva is a butterfly from the spider owls family (Erebidae). The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1775 by Fabricius.
6. Western leaffooted bug
The Leptoglossus zonatus, also known as the "western leaffooted bug", is a pest to citrus fruit crops, especially the satsuma mandarin. It could also damage other crops, such as cotton, eggplants, corn, and peaches. It feeds on fruits by piercing them with its mouth and releasing a toxic substance, which often creates dark spots on the fruit's exterior.
7. Brown dog tick
The brown dog tick is a global parasite and can survive a wide range of temperatures. These ticks are mostly found on the ears, heads, and paws of dogs and can transmit diseases like canine ehrlichiosis and canine babesiosis. If there is no viable host, then the brown dog tick may attach to other mammals, such as rodents, deer, and humans.
8. Red Rim
Adults have a velvety-black forewing with a gray hindwing. The hindwing has a pinkish-red band. The caterpillars of this species are gray brown with raised green marks and spikes. 1342

The red postman butterfly (Heliconius erato) is a beautiful black and white butterfly that is a skilled actor. It exhibits mimicry to resemble a butterfly similar to the Common postman to deter predators. Also, its favorite host plants are passion flowers. But it has been known to be picky about the quality of the flower.
