Bird Dung Spider

The triangle crab spider exhibits an extraordinary form of mimicry, often resembling a flower or plant part, a tactic evolved to ambush prey. This captivating species has evolved a distinct palette that provides exceptional camouflage within its habitat, allowing it to pounce on unsuspecting pollinators that venture too close. Even in its juvenile stage, the triangle crab spider displays such proficiency in ambush tactics that it successfully captures and consumes insects multiple times its size.

Featuring a unique ability to change color to match its environment, banded crab spider is a master of camouflage. This arachnid's diet changes from larval parasitism during its initial life stages to active predation as an adult, showcasing a fascinating developmental dietary transition. In its mature form, banded crab spider employs its remarkable crab-like sideways walking to stalk prey, capitalizing upon its extraordinary visual acuity to ambush unsuspecting insects.

Females can grow up to 6 mm, males up to 4 mm. Prosoma and legs are green, the opisthosoma is yellowish with a brown mark.

Diaea livens is a species of crab spider in the family Thomisidae. It is found in Southern and Central Europe, Turkey, Caucasus, Iran, and has been introduced into the United States.

Females are about 6 mm in length. Cephalothorax is golden brown, abdomen is tan with faint markings. However, colour is very variable and is assumed to aid camouflage.

Adorned with a remarkable semblance to a crumpled leaf, wrinkled birddung crabspider possesses an uncanny ability to blend into its leafy surroundings—a trait that not only serves as defense against predators but also facilitates its predatory ambush strategies. This arachnid displays sexual dimorphism, with females notably larger than males, both of whom exhibit subtle changes in coloration to align with the changing hues of their arboreal habitats throughout the seasons.

Resembling the discards of a bird's meal, phrynarachne katoi has mastered the art of camouflage with its uncanny resemblance to bird droppings. This arachnid's strategic appearance serves as both a defense mechanism and an ambush tactic, allowing it to evade predators and surprise unsuspecting prey. Its diet shifts with age, where younger spiders typically consume smaller insects, and adults extend their menu to include larger prey suitable for their deceptive hunting strategy.

Ozyptila praticola is a species of crab spider found throughout Europe and the Middle East. Females reach up to 4 mm, males grow up to 3 mm. Both sexes are of a dark reddish brown. It hunts primarily in the undergrowth, but can also be found under the bark or on the lower branches of trees. This is also where the female deposits and guards its egg sac. Adults can be found most of the year.

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.
