Top 20 Most Common Insects in Antique

While the atlas moth (Attacus atlas) can't tell you where to find your country on the map, it does earn its name through other means. It is one of the largest moths in the world, with a wingspan that is far larger than its body, creating an abnormal comparison. In India, their silk is gathered in a non-commercial capacity and is considered to be more durable than the domestic silkworm.

The rusty millipede (Trigoniulus corallinus), also referred to as the "scarlet millipede", is often kept as a pet. It can be distinguished by its rusty red coloring. It loves burrowing, and it primarily feeds on the substrate around it, such as decomposing wood and leaves. It's not an aggressive species, so it can be housed with other millipedes.

The weaver ant can be found in silk-woven nests in the foliage of Southeast Asia and Oceania. These ants have a painful bite and prey on other small insects. Larvae have many uses for local regions, including being a popular fishing bait and a good choice of bird food.

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.

The wingspan is 6 - 8 cm. Head, thorax and abdomen are purplish grey, which differs from Theretra nessus. Vertex of head and a dorso-lateral stripe to thorax and abdomen is green. Forewings are purplish grey with a green oblique central area from below apex to inner margin with some indistinct lines on it. There is an irregular dark outer area with some yellow inside it. Hindwings with anal patch and submarginal band are pointed.Larva are greenish with a dark dorsal line, and a subdorsal pale line on thoracic somites. The fourth somite has a large ocellus, which is white ringed with brown and centered with blue and green. The ocelli on the fifth to tenth somites are bluish with yellow centers. Lateral area is greenish and horn is yellowish.

Thor amboinensis is a small shrimp growing to a length of about 13 millimetres (0.5 in). It is an olive brown colour with symmetrically placed white patches edged with thin blue lines. It characteristically carries its abdomen curved upwards with its tail fan above its head.

The forewing is typically 1.1–1.4 inches in long. The body and forewing of the adult moth are green and ochre. They have silvery white dots and streaks, with a silvery band running obliquely on the forewing. The hindwing is red near its lower angle (tornus) to pinkish over other parts of the wing. It is crossed by a black bar and black veins.

The giant golden orb weaver (Nephila pilipes) is known for spinning a golden web. Despite that being neat, that isn't the weirdest part about them. Females are known to favor gigantism, causing males to be much smaller than average females. Males are known to have mating plugs which attempt to prevent other males from mating, but the size difference can make this tricky.
