White cedar moth

Arna bipunctapex is a downy butterfly from the spider owl family (Erebidae). The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1891 by Hampson.

The wingspan is 3 - 4 cm.

Adorned with a wool-like covering, brown tussock moth is known for its ability to release defensive chemicals against its would-be predators. As it transitions from its larval stage, it exhibits a remarkable metamorphosis culminating in a nocturnal lifestyle, where it takes to the sky on delicate wings, seeking out a diverse range of host plants to nourish itself in its new, winged form.

Orvasca subnotata is a downy butterfly from the spider Orvasca subnotata family (Erebidae). The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1865 by Walker.

Ivela auripes is a nocturnal lepidopteran, recognizable for its tufted caterpillar stage which later undergoes a metamorphosis into a winged adult. These creatures exhibit sexual dimorphism, with females typically displaying more pronounced wing colorations and patterns. During their larval phase, they feed on a variety of host plants, which they continue to rely on until they reach maturity. As adults, they switch to a diet largely consisting of nectar, contributing to the pollination of various flowering species.

Adorned with tufts of hair-like scales, bean tussock moth is an intriguing denizen of diverse habitats, adapting its coloration from caterpillar to adult to protect itself from predators. This creature undergoes a profound metamorphosis, initially hatching from eggs laid on foliage and sustaining itself on a varied vegetative diet, before transitioning into a dormant pupal stage, eventually emerging with wings designed for short-distance flights. Bean tussock moth's sophisticated sensory apparatus equips it to expertly navigate through its environment, while its reproductive strategy ensures the perpetuation of its lineage amidst a complex ecosystem.

Locharna strigipennis is a moth in the family Erebidae first described by Frederic Moore in 1879. It is found in the north-eastern Himalaya, India, China and Taiwan. The wingspan is 40–47 mm.

Sporting a visually striking pattern on its wings, dura alba is well adapted for temperate woodland habitats. Its lifecycle begins with larvae that voraciously consume the foliage of a variety of deciduous trees. As it transitions into adulthood, dura alba develops scales on its wings which play a role in thermoregulation and water repellency, critical adaptations that aid in its survival and distribution across diverse terrestrial environments.

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.
