Cesonia bilineata is a species of ground spider in the family Gnaphosidae. It is found in North America.
Yellow-legged zipper spider is distinguished by its penchant for deceiving prey. Intriguingly, yellow-legged zipper spider uses vibrations to mimic fallen insects, luring unsuspecting victims into its web. Once caught, the spiders inject a slow-acting venom that eventually immobilizes the prey, allowing yellow-legged zipper spider to feed at its leisure. Yellow-legged zipper spider males also display captivating courtship rituals, subtly altering web tension to signal their intentions to females.
Characterized by a quintessential adaptation, stone ground-spider builds no web, favoring a more tactical approach. Actively nocturnal, it patiently hones in on prey, trusting its acute sensory adaptations. Remarkably, it evolves the strategy of excavating shallow retreats in the soil, using the excavated earth as a tell-tale sign of intruders. This fusion of brute strength and cunning survival tactics symbolizes the evolutionary resilience encompassed by stone ground-spider.
The western parson spider (Herpyllus propinquus) is identified by the white stripe along their abdomen. They are identical to the Eastern parson Spider. They can generally be differentiated by a closeup view of their genitalia. If that wasn't confusing enough, their territory even crosses over with their eastern counterpart.
The eastern parson spider (Herpyllus ecclesiasticus) is named after the markings on their abdomen resembling the neckties worn by clergymen in the 18th century. Their bite can be painful, but it is not considered fatal unless one has an allergic reaction to it.
The flattened bark spider (Hemicloea rogenhoferi) lives up to its name by having a color similar to that of bark. Because of this, they are able to climb up trees, hide under bark, and wait for their prey to approach. The flat body is particularly useful for squeezing into tight places under the tree, so it has a deceptive size.
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.
