Red-Blue Checkered Beetle

Chariessa pilosa is a species of checkered beetle in the family Cleridae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia (excluding China) and North America.

Contrary to what the name may suggest, the red-legged ham beetle (Necrobia rufipes) does not have an affinity for ham. It bores into ham in order to chase after the larva of blowflies (Calliphora). To prevent this, most people simply refrigerate their ham. But they attack a variety of other foods. They are also considered an incredible pest for salt fish like herring.

Adorned with a vibrant exoskeleton, ornate checkered beetle is often found clambering upon wildflowers in search of its primary sustenance, mainly other insects and their larvae. While adults showcase a striking array of iridescent hues, juveniles differ markedly, being ectoparasites that target the progeny of certain hymenopterans, fulfilling a crucial role in the control of bee and wasp populations within their ecosystem.

Trichodes alvearius is a very hairy beetle with black head and scutellum. The elongated elytra show a bright red colour with black bands. This species can easily be distinguished from Trichodes apiarius by the black stripe down the middle of the back (along the inner edge of the elytra) and the red apex, not reached by the black terminal stain. It does not fly readily, relying instead on its warning coloration to protect itself from predators.

It is an hairy small-medium size beetle with shining blue or black head and scutellum. The elongated elytra show a bright reddish orange colour with black bands. This species can easily be distinguished from other Trichodes species by the two small black spots in front of the elytra.

The Enoclerus ichneumoneus is a beautiful combination of oranges, reds, and blacks that cover their body. Maybe this is why they are considered to be a member of the checkered beetle family. Adult form has short antennae and eats a lot before becoming an adult, which puts them on par with some teenagers. 

Enoclerus eximius is a species of checkered beetle in the family Cleridae. It is found in North America.

Enoclerus nigripes is a species of checkered beetle in the family Cleridae. It is found in Central America and North America.

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.
