Indian Crested Porcupine Hystrix indica

Indian crested porcupines are found throughout southwest and central Asia, from Turkey to India and Sri Lanka, and north to Kazakhstan. They consume a variety of natural and agricultural plant material, including roots, bulbs, fruits, along with insects and small vertebrates. They are also considered serious agricultural pests in many parts of their range due to their taste for crops. Because they do not climb or jump well, they spend most of their lives on or under the ground. However, they are good swimmers.

Myoxanthus cimex. According to the Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia the common name for this uncommon orchid is The Bug-Like Myoxanthus. I have to love an orchid that has antennae.
