White-winged fairy bee

Emblematic of industry, large shaggy bee is known for its fuzzy coat, which collects pollen as it diligently forages among flowers. Inherently solitary, this creature constructs its nest underground, often repurposing abandoned burrows. Its lifecycle comprises distinct transformations, from larva to adult, with diets adapted to each stage – juveniles rely on pollen provisions, while adults forage for nectar and pollen among diverse blossoms.

With a striking appearance, small shaggy bee distinguishes itself by having dense, brush-like hairs on its body which are adapted for collecting pollen from flowers, playing a critical role in ecosystem pollination. This species exhibits a particular preference for certain flowering plants, showcasing a distinct foraging pattern that has evolved over time to maximize its role in the reproductive cycle of these plants. While the adults are avid foragers, the larvae have a different lifestyle, developing within the nest where they are dependent on provisions collected by the adults.

Calliopsis subalpina is a species of mining bee in the family Andrenidae. It is found in Central America and North America.

The eastern miner bee (Calliopsis andreniformis) is a species of miner bee in the family Andrenidae. It is found in North America.

Size: female 1 - 1.2 cm . Male 9 - 11 mm .

In contrast to much of the animal kingdom, the sexual differences among gender present in early mining bee (Andrena haemorrhoa) causes females to be more colorful and identifiable than the males, sporting fox-colored hairs on her thorax. This species is particularly active in spring, when it can be seen buzzing about meadows. Females are solitary but may sometimes congregate in small groups.

The males are 1.02 - 1.3 cm and the females 8 - 10 mm long. It is covered with hair: fox-red on its back and black on its underside.

The solitary chocolate mining bee lives underground, fashioning nests in sandy soils where it exhibits a distinct preference for flowering plants as foraging territory. It is renowned for its pollen-collecting hairs under the abdomen. The species changes its diet according to developmental stages; the larvae feed on stored pollen and nectar while adults favor the nectar of specific flowers to maintain energy for their foraging duties.

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.
