Common fox spider

The garden wolf spider (Anoteropsis hilaris) lives in small burrows among gardens, so it will commonly be seen running on the soil. It's an active hunter that will often take down prey larger than itself, but this species is sometimes hunted by wasps. Like other wolf spiders, these spiders can deliver an uncomfortable bite, which is not deadly to humans.

Anoteropsis litoralis can be distinguished from other species of Anoteropsis by its yellow dorsal surface with black markings and several unique features in the male and female reproductive organs.

Gladicosa gulosa is a type of wolf spider found in Beech-Maple forests of the US and Canada, where the spider can be found in the plant strata of ground, herb or shrub. It is not one of the more common wolf spiders.

With a remarkable adaptation for terrestrial life, gladicosa pulchra showcases a unique hunting technique that involves no web construction. Instead, it relies on its agility and keen sense of touch delivered through sensitive hairs to pursue prey directly on the ground. During their developmental stages, young individuals exhibit a notable variance in diet, often consuming smaller arthropods than their opportunistic adult counterparts, which include a wider array of insects.

Pirata piraticus is a species of wolf spider in the family Lycosidae. It is found in North America, Europe, Turkey, Caucasus, a range from Russia (European to Far East), Central Asia, China, and Japan.

The animal belongs to the genus Lycosa. The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1836 by Hippolyte Lucas.

This robust, solitary hunter stakes out its territory in the shrub-steppes, showcasing a distinct brown to grayish hue with patterned markings that render it well camouflaged amidst the earthy backdrop. As a cursorial predator, lycosa singoriensis relies on keen eyesight and swift ground pursuit rather than webs to capture its prey, which includes a variety of insects and small arthropods. Throughout its developmental cycle from an egg to an agile hunter, lycosa singoriensis maintains a diet consistent with its carnivorous nature.

With robust, adapted limbs, lycosa praegrandis possesses a keen capacity for rapid terrestrial movement, a trait quintessential to its hunting strategy. Sporting a mottled, earth-toned coat that camouflages with the forest floor, it patiently waits to ambush unsuspecting prey with remarkable agility, indicative of its remarkable sensory system that can detect the slightest of vibrations. This solitary prowler's diet primarily consists of insects, which it catches without the use of a web, showcasing its prowess as an active, rather than passive, predator.

Western honey bee（Apis mellifera） is the most common species of honeybee in the world. Among the first domesticated insects, its cultural and economic impact on humanity has been vast and far-reaching, providing honey, wax and its services as a pollinator. Western honey bee faces challenges worldwide, such as colony collapse disorder, and populations are thought to be decreasing.

The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is the most recognizable butterfly in North America. It is best known for its appearance, but should be better known for the fact that it has a 3000-mile migration that takes the butterfly 4 generations to complete. Their diet is also a natural deterrent for predators, as they eat milkweed, a poison that induces vomiting.

The japanese rhinoceros beetle (Trypoxylus dichotomus) is a massive beetle about the size of the palm of a hand. It's distinguished by its long Y-shaped horn, which it uses to fight other males with. It's a nocturnal bug that feeds on sap and sweet fruits. This species is sometimes kept as a pet due to its unique appearance and simple care requirements.

The silken threads produced by silkworm during its larval stage have been highly coveted for millennia, manifesting as a luxurious fabric in human society. Remarkably, this creature has a singular diet, feeding exclusively on the leaves of its primary host plant from which it extracts the necessary nutrients to facilitate its transition into a non-feeding, winged adult.

Menelaus blue morpho (Morpho menelaus) is a gorgeous butterfly with large, royal blue wings. Linnaeus named the genus Morpho the Aphrodite-Ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty for its extreme beauty. It is native to tropical rainforests. Though many butterfly gardens now cultivate them in captivity, there are still many people who never get a chance to see them.

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.

Both sexes reach about 5 mm in body length. Females and immatures of both sexes are brown but have color patterns by which they can be distinguished from related species. Also, the males dance to attract females.

Often confused for the ladybug, multicolored asian ladybeetle (Harmonia axyridis) is a separate species that, unlike the ladybug, is a household pest. It is considered particularly annoying for its habit of returning to places from which it is removed. One of the most variable species in the world, there are many different colors and patterns multicolored asian ladybeetle may display, making identification potentially difficult.
