Speechley's arkys

This arachnid is a master of ambushing, using a combination of camouflage and patience to capture prey without weaving the traditional web associated with its kin. With a life cycle that can see significant transformations from the nimble juveniles to the more robust adults, their diet similarly evolves from small insects in the early stages to larger arthropods as they mature. They possess a unique set of elongated, horn-like projections on their carapace, which along with their intricate body patterns, serves in both mimicry and predator deterrence.

Triangular spider, distinguished by its triangular abdomen and characteristic ambush hunting method, often perch on leaves and flowers, blending in with their surroundings. Its diverse diet includes a variety of invertebrates, capturing prey primarily through entrapment using their front limbs rather than spinning traditional webs. This species undergoes notable transformation from juvenile to adult, with changes in both dietary preferences and habitat utilization, illustrating a remarkable adaptability to their environment.

Gracefully maneuvering through its habitat, small bird dropping spider weaves irregular, three-dimensional webs resembling tangled scaffolding. Known for its ambush tactics, this skilled predator lacks the typical adhesive web mechanism; instead, it seizes flying insects mid-air with remarkable agility. Its diet shifts with growth, as juveniles consume smaller, soft-bodied arthropods, maturing into adults that tackle larger prey.

The animal belongs to the genus Arkys. The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1879 by Eugène Simon.

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.
