Great golden digger wasp

With its sleek, metallic body and a distinct golden sheen on its legs, brown-legged grass-carrier is an adept flyer and solitary architect. Renowned for its unusual nesting habits, it meticulously converts hollow stems or pre-existing cavities into brood chambers. Inside, this meticulous insect stocks paralyzed orthopteran insects, providing a live, fresh meal upon which its larvae will feast, ensuring the survival of the next generation with remarkable precision.

Mexican grass-carrying wasp are solitary wasps known for their unique nesting behavior in hollow stems or man-made structures, favoring sunny habitats. They display striking behaviors such as provisioning their nests with paralyzed orthopterans to feed their developing young, a testament to their role as natural pest controllers. Distinctly, during larval development, individuals undergo complete metamorphosis, showcasing the marvels of insect development from larvae to winged adults.

Isodontia elegans is a species of thread-waisted wasp in the family Sphecidae that hunt orthopterans.

Isodontia philadelphica is a species of thread-waisted wasp in the family Sphecidae.

Thread-waisted wasps (Eremnophila aureonotata) are dutiful parents that spend a great deal of time finding meals for their future children. They sting their prey in order to paralyze them. These insects will bury paralyzed caterpillars in burrows where their larva will feed on them over time. A cruel fate for the unfortunate souls who are captured.

The steel-blue cricket hunter (Chlorion aerarium) is exactly as its name would suggest. They have beautiful steel-blue coloring on their body. They paralyze and capture crickets to bring back to their burrows. In their burrows, they lay their eggs on the crickets so the young may feast. Sometimes, they capture crickets in large numbers and create multi-cell burrows.

With a striking, solitary life, ammophila nigricans is known for its remarkable nesting behavior, constructing underground burrows to protect its progeny. This species exhibits an exemplary hunting technique, paralyzing caterpillars with precision to provide fresh food for their larvae, ensuring sustenance even in their absence. Their lifecycle showcases a profound dedication to the next generation, embodying the intricate balance of nature's ecosystems.

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.
