The Blue-banded Bee
The species is found all over Australia, except in Tasmania and the Northern Territory. It’s also native to Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, East Timor, Malaysia, and India, so it enjoys a pretty healthy range, spreading out everywhere from urban areas to open fields and dense, tropical forests. It’s rumoured they’re attracted to blue and purple flowers, perhaps because they could blend into their surroundings when collecting pollen from them, but this has yet to be proven.

Jumping spiders are the largest group of spiders on Earth, with over 6,200 species. They primarily inhabit tropical forests, but are found in a variety of habitats all over the world, with the exception of the North and South poles. While named for their impressive jumping ability, they also have remarkable vision, thanks to their two pairs of eyes. (treehugger.com)

Longhorn beetles, also known as long-horned or longicorns, belong to the family Cerambycidae, one of the largest and most diverse families of beetles, encompassing over 35,000 known species. These beetles are characterized by their extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle’s body. The name “longhorn” aptly reflects this distinctive feature.
Longhorn beetles are found all over the world, except for Antarctica, and exhibit a remarkable range of sizes, shapes, and colors. Some species are tiny, measuring just a few millimeters, while others can reach impressive lengths of up to 15 centimeters. Their coloration is equally diverse, with some sporting vibrant patterns and metallic hues.
The larvae of longhorn beetles are typically wood-boring insects, feeding on the sapwood and heartwood of trees and shrubs. Their feeding activity can cause significant damage to timber, making some longhorn beetles considered pests. However, many species play beneficial roles in the ecosystem by breaking down dead wood and aiding in nutrient cycling.
Longhorn beetles are known for their fascinating reproductive behaviors. Some species exhibit elaborate courtship rituals, while others employ specialized strategies to attract mates. For instance, some male longhorn beetles produce alluring pheromones, while others engage in drumming or stridulation to communicate with potential partners.

In Frame - Spodoptera litura (Cotton Leafworm Moth) Baby catties are freshly hatched from egg.
Spodoptera litura, otherwise known as the tobacco cutworm or cotton leafworm, is a nocturnal moth in the family Noctuidae. S. litura is a serious polyphagous pest in Asia, Oceania, and the Indian subcontinent.
There are slight but obvious differences in morphology between males and females of S. litura that allow for the easy differentiation of the two sexes. Male forewing length is 14–17 mm while female forewing length is slightly larger and measures 15–18 mm. The orbicular spot on the forewing is also more pronounced in the males.

Unlike insects, which generally deposit eggs outside their bodies, scorpions produce live babies, a practice known as viviparity. Some scorpions develop within a membrane, where they receive nourishment both from a yolk and from their mothers. Others develop without a membrane and receive nourishment directly from their mothers. The gestational stage can be as short as two months, or as long as 18 months, depending on the species. After birth, the newborn scorpions ride on their mother’s back, where they remain protected until they molt for the first time. After this, they disperse.
