Ornate cow tick

Haemaphysalis longicornis, the Asian longhorned tick, longhorned tick, bush tick, Asian tick, or cattle tick, is a parasitic arachnid belonging to the tick family Ixodidae. The Asian longhorned tick is a known livestock pest, especially in New Zealand, and can transmit a disease called theileriosis to cattle but not to humans. However, the tick has been associated with several other tickborne diseases in humans. An unfed female is typically 2.0–2.6 mm long and 1.5–1.8 mm wide, and grows to 9.8 mm long and 8.2 mm wide with engorgement. Distinguishing a specimen from other members of the genus Haemaphysalis requires microscopic examination of minor physical characteristics.

Ticks are temporary ectoparasites on the surfaces of the bodies of vertebrates and are also mediums for zoonoses. When they bite animals, they would also inject saliva with anesthetic effects, misleading the host to dismiss the harm they are creating. As the time span of the bite increases, the probability of contracting diseases increases as well.

The skin of cayenne tick is a unique natural marvel, capable of expanding several times its initial size to accommodate a blood meal from its host. As both nimble nymphs and diligent adults, they depend on a variety of mammals for sustenance, but display a marked preference for horses during their adult phase. This dietary specificity is essential for completing their complex life cycle.

The lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum) has a white dot on its abdomen. This bloodsucker has a taste for turkeys, giving it the nickname "turkey tick." They do not tend to be picky eaters, as they do latch onto humans as well. Humans that have been bitten by this often have Southern Tick Associated Rash Illness (STARI). Symptoms such as fever, headache, and joint pain are resolved quickly using antibiotics. 

Often found clinging to the tips of grasses and shrubs, ornate sheep tick exhibits a unique questing behavior, where it patiently awaits the approach of a host. Sporting a distinctive pattern on its back, it surreptitiously latches onto the unsuspecting host to feed. As an ectoparasite, it has evolved a complex saliva that not only facilitates blood-feeding but also can transmit various pathogens, a subject of significant study due to its role in the ecosystem and impact on wildlife health.

Ticks are temporary parasites on the surface of the body of many vertebrates. They are also mediums for spreading some of the zoonoses. When they are biting animals, they would inject saliva with anesthetic effects, misleading the host to dismiss the harm they create. As the time of the bite lengthens, the likelihood of the host contracting diseases increases proportionally.

The american dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) is a vector for several diseases that include Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Contrary to popular belief, they are not known harborers of Lyme Disease. This tick must stay attached for a period of up to 8 hours before diseases can spread.

The pacific coast tick (Dermacentor occidentalis) is a human-biting tick that is often found in grasslands and shrublands. At all life stages, this tick can transmit Rock Mountain spotted fever to humans, dogs, and cats. Additionally, it has been known to cause tick bite paralysis for cows, deer, and ponies.

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.
