More Effects of Bee assassin
The black corsair (Melanolestes picipes) is a black species of "assassin bug" that uses its beak to suck fluids from its prey, which consists of other insects. It's also known to deliver a painful bite to humans, but it does not suck blood or transmit diseases. It will most commonly be found hiding under stones or bark. The males have wings while the females are flightless.
The orange assassin bug (Pselliopus barberi) can be considered the tiger of the bug world. This is related to their stark orange coloring and the black lines along its sides. This "tiger-like" association is only enhanced when considering that it eats other bugs. During the winter, this insect rests under rotting logs until its next hunt.
Pselliopus cinctus is a species of assassin bug in the family Reduviidae. It is found in North America.
The feather-legged assassin bug is a type of assassin bug equipped with paralyzing venom to prey and feed on ants and other insects. Even more so, these insects have the ability to attract prey through chemical secretion, making hunting easy. The feather-legged assassin bug is native to Australia and camouflages well against tree bark.
The Rasahus biguttatus is called this because of its ability to be effective ambush insects. This species is defined with a yellow or brown dot in the middle of it and a v-pattern higher on its body. Handle with caution (or not at all), as you might get a painful bite.
The western corsair, scientific name Rasahus thoracicus, is a variety of assassin bug and is one of the two species of "two spotted corsairs", the other being Rasahus biguttatus. The adults have an orange and black body and an orange spot on each wing. They feed primarily on other insects and after dark are attracted to bright lights (where prey are ample). Unlike most of the other assassin bugs, the bite of the western corsair can be extremely painful.
Rasahus hamatus, the corsair, is a species of corsair (or assassin bug) in the family Reduviidae. It is found in the Caribbean, Central America, North America, and South America.
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.
