Adorned in vibrant iridescent hues that shift with changing angles of light, hibiscus Harlequin Bug wears a striking metallic sheen reminiscent of polished copper. This distinctive appearance camouflages it among the vegetation it calls home, where it actively feeds on the sap of various host plants. Mature individuals exhibit bright blue and red coloration, with more subdued shades seen in their juvenile counterparts. The dazzling display of colors also plays a role in attracting mates during the breeding season, highlighting the interplay between survival and reproduction in its lifecycle.
General colour of dorsum metallic blue, green, or purple; abdominal venter yellow, broadly margined with purple laterad to spiracles, spiracles II–VII each surrounded by a rounded black spot; pro-, meso- and metepimeroids together with the supracoxal lobes yellow; coxae and trochanters pale yellow, femora with an apical annulus and longitudinal bands black, tibiae and tarsi black.
Adorned with a shield-like exoskeleton in vivid hues, ocellated shield bug is a striking sight to behold. This creature feeds on various plant juices, using its specialized mouthparts to pierce plant tissues and extract nourishment. Native to diverse habitats, ocellated shield bug undergoes incomplete metamorphosis, with nymphs resembling smaller versions of adults, albeit less colorful, evolving through successive molts to reach maturity.
Tetyra bipunctata, the shieldbacked pine seed bug, is a species of shield-backed bug in the family Scutelleridae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Homaemus aeneifrons is a species of shield-backed bug in the family Scutelleridae. It is found in Central America and North America.
With a shield-shaped exoskeleton, shield-backed bug exhibits a striking mottled pattern that serves as a deterrent to predators. This species possesses specialized mouthparts adapted for piercing and sucking, which it employs to feed on plant juices, often from a variety of host vegetation. Distinctively, during its developmental stages, it undergoes incomplete metamorphosis, emphasizing a gradual transition in form and function as it matures from nymph to adult.
Poecilocoris lewisi, known as the clown stink bug, is a species of shield bug found in eastern Asia.
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.
