The wingspan is 2.5 - 3 cm. Adults have pure white wings, the wing markings limited to interrupted orange-yellow to brown antemedial and postmedial lines.
The wingspan is 4 - 4.5 cm. There are two distinct forms. The common form has pink-white patches at the base, along the costa and at the apex. There is a coppery-brown spot at the anal angle. The hindwings are brown. Form pennsylvanica is darker, blackish near the wing base, and does not have the pink-white patches.
Teldenia specca is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Wilkinson in 1967. It is found in the north-eastern Himalayas and from western China to Borneo, Sumatra, Palawan, Buru and New Guinea. The length of the forewings is 9-11.5 mm for males and 10.5-12.5 mm for females. The ground colour, fringe and costa are white, the forewings with buff lunulate postmedial and subterminal fasciae. There is a row of buff spots edged in dark brown immediately proximal to the postmedial fascia. There is also a row of dark brown or black terminal spots. The hindwings are as the forewings.
Nothoploca endoi is a moth of the family Drepanidae described by Yoshimotho in 1983. It is found in Taiwan.
Sewa taiwana is a moth of the family Drepanidae first described by Alfred Ernest Wileman in 1911. It is found in Taiwan.
Drapetodes mitaria is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1857. It is found in Hong Kong and from India to Singapore and in Taiwan. Adults are on wing in June and July. The larvae feed on Hedychium species.
Wrapped in hues that blend with twilight, microblepsis violacea is a master of disguise, its wings replicating the delicate interplay of shadow and dying light. In its larval stage, it exhibits an insatiable appetite for broadleaf foliage, which sustains its metamorphosis into an adult whose primary role is reproduction, sustaining the cycle of life.
Microblepsis rugosa is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Watson in 1968. It is found in the Naga Hills of north-eastern India and in Malaysia. The length of the forewings is 12–18 mm. Adults are similar to Microblepsis rectilinea and can only be distinguished by the male genitalia.
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.
