Silbomyia cyanea

The black blow fly can be important in forensic investigations since these flies are attracted to decaying organic matter and will colonize a human corpse in a consistent time frame. The life cycle of the flies can be analyzed to narrow down a time of death. They are most often found in rural areas, particularly near sources of water.

Distinctive for its striking appearance during flight, locust blowfly is an adept aerial acrobat, capable of hovering and swift maneuvers thanks to its specialized wing structure. Feasting primarily on nectar from flowers, this species contributes to pollination, playing an understated role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems they inhabit. Their larvae, however, diverge sharply in dietary preferences, feeding on the decomposing matter of dead animals, which assists in nutrient recycling in their habitats.

Calliphora vomitoria is 1.02 - 1.5 cm long, almost twice the size of a housefly. The head and thorax are dull gray, the back of head has long yellow-orange setae and the abdomen is bright metallic blue with black markings. Its body and legs are covered with black bristle-like hair. It has short, clubbed antennae and 4 tarsi per leg. The eyes are red and the wings are transparent. The legs and antennae are black and pink. The chest is bright purple and has spikes to protect itself from other flies.

The blue blowfly is a species that is used in forensic investigations to determine the time of death of a human, based on the consistent timeframe when this insect arrives to colonize the body. The adults arrive two days after death, and the total life cycle of the blue blowfly lasts about 18 days.

The Chrysomya megacephala is an important species in forensic investigations since it colonizes human bodies shortly after death. Based on the life cycle of these flies relative to their arrival to a corpse, a time frame for death can be determined. They are found in warm areas, and they are also important pollinators of mangoes.

Cochliomyia macellaria is a fly species from the family of bluebottles (Calliphoridae). The scientific name of the species was first validly published in 1775 by Fabricius.

Cluster fly is a species found in varying environments, known for its fuzzy, yellowish larvae that play a crucial role in decomposing organic matter. As adults, they exhibit a distinctive metallic sheen and are often seen in cooler, shaded areas, particularly during autumn. What is notable is that they use a unique form of locomotion called 'rat-tailed larvae' to navigate their preferred moist habitats.

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.
