Trypanophora semihyalina is a butterfly from the blood droplet family (Zygaenidae). The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1844 by Kollar.
Campylotes histrionicus is a day-flying moth of the family Zygaenidae first described by John O. Westwood in 1839. It is found in Asia, including northern India, Vietnam and Nepal. In India, it is found throughout the Himalayas. It is black with red and orange streaks and white spots resembling the pattern of Danaus genutia.
Adorned with striking spots that serve as a visual deterrent to predators, campylotes maculosa is a fine example of aposematic coloration in action. Employing a unique defense mechanism, this creature can release hydrogen cyanide from its body when threatened, a feature that is rare among its counterparts. Not only is this a potent form of protection, but it is also a clear warning sign that this insect is not to be trifled with by potential predators or overzealous collectors.
Distinctive for its iridescent scales, pidorus atratus captivates with wings that glisten under the sunlight, mimicking the shimmer of precious stones. Primarily a nectar feeder, this organism showcases a notable proboscis adapted for siphoning from a variety of blossoms, hinting at an intricate evolutionary dance with flowering plants. Its metamorphosis from a foliage-consuming larva to an enchanting aerial adult is a remarkable transition, showcasing nature's alchemy and the diversity of feeding strategies within its life cycle.
Adorned with strikingly metallic hues, rhodopsona marginatus reveals an iridescence that sets it apart in its environment, a characteristic trait developed through stages from a less conspicuous larva into the dazzling adult it becomes. Feeding primarily on specific host plants, this species has evolved a selective diet that both shapes and is shaped by its habitat. The lifecycle intricately tied to its botanical partners, exemplifying a sophisticated ecological interdependence.
Artona martini is a butterfly from the family of blood drops (Zygaenidae). The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1997 by Efetov.
Artona hainana is a species of moth in the family Zygaenidae. It is found in Taiwan, China, India, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.
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.
