Aphidecta obliterata can reach approximately a size of 3.5 - 5 mm . These tiny beetles have an elongate oval body, with strongly convex elytra, smooth, shiny and densely, finely punctured. Head shows a black arch-shaped marking. Antennae are club-shaped, with 9-11 segments.
Setting twice-struck lady beetle apart is its chameleon characteristic, which enables it to adjust its hue according to the surroundings for effective camouflage. This evolutionary trait equips twice-struck lady beetle as a discreet predator, preying primarily on aphids, thereby regulating their population and preventing plant damage. Twice-struck lady beetle is further integral in pollination services, contributing substantially to local biodiversity. Its life cycle features an interesting diapause phase during winters, conserving energy and ensuring survival in colder climates.
The painted lady beetle (Mulsantina picta) can come in a variety of colors, including a solid red exterior or a pale exterior with dark brown markings. There can be a special pattern on their back, some look like a heart pattern, and some look like a batman logo. It's most commonly found in or near a wide range of boreal forests. It feeds on sap-sucking pests, including aphids and adelgids.
Rhyzobius litura is a species of beetle in family Coccinellidae. It is found in the Palearctic It is mainly found in Western Europe, especially in the United Kingdom In the southeast, the area spreads to Bulgaria and Greece. In the East it is partly replaced by the related species Rhyzobius chrysomeloides. The species lives in forests on trees and on various herbaceous plants in places where it is protected from wind and weather.
Rhyzobius chrysomeloides is a species of beetle in the family Coccinellidae. R. chrysomeloides is a predatory species, feeding on aphids. R. chrysomeloides can typically be found on various species of trees and garden shrubs, first being recorded in Britain was in 1996 on a pine tree. R. chrysomeloides is visually similar to Rhyzoius litura, but can be differentiated by its broader prosternal keel and the darker, U-shaped markings on its elytra.
Myzia oblongoguttata, commonly known as the striped ladybird, is a species of beetle in family Coccinellidae. It is found in the Palearctic (Europe, North Africa, Asia Minor, European Russia, Caucasus, Siberia, Russian Far East, Belarus, Ukraine, Transcaucasia, Kazakhstan, Middle Asia, Mongolia, North and South Korea, Japan).
Myzia pullata, the streaked lady beetle, is a species of lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae. It is found in North America.
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.
