Top 16 Most Common Insects in Panauti

Histia flabellicornis is a butterfly from the blood Histia flabellicornis family (Zygaenidae). The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1775 by Fabricius.

Wet-season brood. Male upperside: white, a greyish-blue shade at base of the wings and along the veins, due to the dark markings on the underside that show through. Forewing: veins black; apex and termen black, the inner margin of that colour extended in an irregular curve from middle of costa to base of terminal third of vein 4, thence continued obliquely outwards to the tornal angle; interspaces 6 and 9 with short narrow greyish-white streaks of the ground colour that stretch into the black apical area but do not reach the margin; a short black subterminal bar between veins 3 and 4 and another, less clearly defined, between veins 1 and 2. Hindwing: veins 4 to 7 with outwardly dilated broad black edgings that coalesce sometimes and form an anterior, irregular, black, terminal margin to the wing. Underside, forewing: white, the veins broadly margined on both sides by dusky black; costal margin broadly and apex suffused with yellow; subterminal black bars between veins 1 and 2, and 3, and 4 as on the upperside but less clearly defined. Hindwing entirely suffused with yellow, the veins diffusely bordered with black; a more or less incomplete, subterminal series of dusky spots in interspaces 1 to 6; more often than not the spot in 5 entirely absent; a conspicuous chrome-yellow spot on the precostal area. Antennae black, obscurely speckled with white; head and thorax bluish grey; abdomen dusky black; beneath: the palpi and abdomen white, the thorax yellow. Female similar to the male but very much darker. Upperside: veins more broadly bordered with black; in many specimens only the following portions of the white ground colour are apparent. Forewing: a broad streak in cell and beyond it a discal series of streaks in interspaces 1 to 6, 9, and 10; the streaks in interspaces 1 and 3 very broadly interrupted by the transverse black bars; that in 6 more or less obsolescent. Hindwing: a broad streak in cell, a discal series of streaks in interspaces 2 to 7, and a posterior more or less obsolescent subterminal series of greyish-white double spots. Underside similar to that of the male only the veins much more broadly margined with diffuse black scaling. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in the male. Dry-season brood. These differ from the wet-season brood as follows: male upperside, forewing: the apical and terminal black areas much restricted; veins concolorous; black subterminal bare less clearly defined; the lower one often obsolete. Hindwing: the black markings on the termen represented by short triangular irrorations (speckles) of black scales at the apices chiefly of the anterior veins. Underside: as in the wet-season, but the yellow much paler and somewhat ochraceous in tint. Female differs less from the wet-season female, but the black markings on both the upper and underside are narrower and less pronounced, and on the latter the yellow suffusion is paler and ochraceous in tint.

The yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) needs to sit down with a warm glass of tea, as it tends to become erratic when disturbed. It is considered to be on the list of the top 100 most invasive species list on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). When they enter a new location, their aggressive behavior allows them to dominate the ecosystem.

The wingspan is 51–64 mm. Body orange yellow. Head and collar white, irrorated (sprinkled) with fuscous. Wings with numerous orange strigae more or less combined into patches. Forewings with white costa, irrorated with fuscous. Antemedial and postmedial oblique fuscous line present, sometimes slightly curved. There is a fuscous line found on the discocellulars. A submarginal more or less lunulate line present, often reduced to a series of specks towards costa. Hindwings with a fuscous line on discocellulars. A double submarginal line angled at base of tail. A fuscous patch can be seen on tail.

Glyphodes stolalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1854. It is found in Cameroon, the Comoros, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Equateur, Orientale, North Kivu), Kenya, Réunion, Madagascar, the Seychelles (Félicité, Denis, Silhouette, Round, Sainte-Marie, Mahé, Long), South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal), the Gambia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, China, India, Indonesia (Sulawesi), Sri Lanka, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Australia (Western Australia, Queensland). The wingspan is about 30 mm. The wings are pale brown with white and purple patches outlined in dark brown.
