Speaking of insects, many people will think of images of horrible, ugly animals. But in fact, not all insects are like that. In the insect world, there are still many unique and incredibly lovely species.
In the picture is orchid mantis : This unique mantis species has a scientific name, Hymenopus coronatus.They thrive in the tropical environment of Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam.
Orchid mantis is characterized by vibrant colors and the ability to camouflage, mimic the parts of orchids.Their four legs looked exactly like orchid petals, while the front limbs were serrated like other mantis used in capturing prey.Orchid mantis eats whatever they catch.
Spicebush tailed moth is mainly distributed in the Southeast of North America.They live in forests, swamps and eat leaves.Although only a few centimeters small, this moth has a unique disguise.
When newly hatched, they are only brown but gradually their bodies are colorful.In particular, there are two large spots on the top of the head, such as two "fake eyes" with dark, yellow and green streaks that make it look more intimidating to threaten the enemy.
This point makes them look like extremely lovely "tiny snakes".However, after a while, they will turn into big black butterflies with prominent orange spots.
Ladybug is the common name for small insects that have a round shape, covered with armor, with black dots on their wings.They divide ladybirds according to the number of dots and body morphology.
The most common species of ladybug is the "7 star" ladybug.They are called so because on their orange-yellow wings there are seven black notes.Each wing has three notes, and one note at the armor between the wings.This is also the biggest ladybug and an admirable "hunter".Ladybugs eat a lot of things, but their main food is rice aphids.
The lantern bug, also known as the elephant bug or Pinocchio, is a tropical insect.They are quite small, "gentle", but have colorful and very diverse colors.Pinocchio's name is because the bug possesses a long, half-length "nose".
In fact, this long "nose" is because their mouths extend to make it easier to suck the plants.These "noses" are as colorful as their wings.
Many people believe that this brilliant bug has the ability to glow from their long "nose", but the truth is not so.It is the colorful wings with the ability to reflect the light that make the lanterns shine in the night.
Pink moths are a North American moth of the Saturniidae family and mainly live in deciduous forests.They have slightly red to pink legs, yellow body feathers with pink wings.Their wings in the middle also have a small yellow triangle.Thanks to the rare pink wing color and the harmony of this color, perhaps the pink moth is the most adorable butterfly in the butterfly family.
As its name suggests, the pink moth has a habit of laying eggs on the underside of maple leaves.Usually, a pink moth has a wingspan of about 3.4 - 5.2cm and the male's beard tends to be larger than the female.
The "human face" - The nectar-sucking animal originated in Southeast Asia.They have bright colors and a rather "smelly" weapon that "flattens" unwanted enemies.
The "human face" is also known as the "face of a girl" of the animal world.The most interesting thing about this animal is that from different angles, they will give the observer different visualizations.
The "saddleback" caterpillar is the larva of a moth species originating in Eastern North America.With a length of only about 2.5cm, they bite very pain and can release venom.
This moth is characterized by two dark brown heads and spiky "horns".The middle stem section is green, while the edges are slightly white.A special feature is that there is a brown oval in the middle of the body that looks like a saddle.Because of this point, they have a unique name that is "caterpillar back".
