Hyalymenus tarsatus, the Texas bow-legged bug, is a species of broad-headed bug in the family Alydidae. It is found in Central America, North America, and South America.
The broad-headed bug (Camptopus lateralis) is mostly brown with white markings on them. The head is particularly large, which is common for those in this broad-headed bug category. They have a wide diet that includes a lot of different seeds, much like humans who like to try a wide variety of restaurants.
Leptocorisa acuta is a species of bug recorded from northern Australia, Malesia and Taiwan. Its basionym is Cimex acutus and it is now placed in the family Alydidae. One of several rice bug species, it may be confused with Leptocorisa oratoria.
It has a slender body, around 2 cm in length, with long legs and a long proboscis. It is yellow-brown in color.
Sporting a distinctive beak used for piercing and sucking nutrients from plant tissues, bean bug thrives in diverse terrestrial ecosystems. As it progresses from nymph to adult, its diet diversifies from primarily seeds to various plant parts, even indulging in crop species, showcasing remarkable adaptability. This remarkable insect illustrates nature’s complex relationships, from its role in food webs to interactions with agricultural systems.
Adorned with a distinctive shield-shaped back, riptortus linearis thrives in a variety of environments, from lush fields to agricultural landscapes. This insect's piercing mouthparts are a marvel of nature, enabling it to extract the essence of its favored legume plants with precision. The presence of symbiotic bacteria within specialized organs helps it to process the nutrients from its plant-based diet, an interdependent relationship seamlessly woven into its biology.
The redbacked broad-headed bug (Alydus calcaratus) is identified by the orangish-red patch located on the back of the insect. Given that the larva resembles ants, they are known to develop within ant nests, but the deeper aspects of its relationship remain a mystery. When they aren't being mysterious, you can find these guys hanging around dry areas.
Alydus pilosulus is a species of broad-headed bug in the family Alydidae. It is found in North America and Oceania.
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.
