The Harlequin Beetle is a large tropical longhorned beetle found from Mexico to Brazil. It burrows a nest in trees covered in bracket fungus in order to camouflage its larvae. The young beetles live in this tree hole for up to 12 months before emerging as adults.
Species: Acrocinus longimanus

This purple spotted swallowtail is found only in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea at elevations between 4000 and 8000 feet above sea level. The species, Graphium weiskei, was first described in 1900 by German entomologist, Carl Ribbe, and named in honor of Emil Weiskei, a German naturalist who traveled the world to procure specimens for his private museum in the late 1800s. .

These cute bumblebee stickers can be found in shop. . There are 265 known species of bumblebees! . Most bumblebees are social insects that form colonies with a single queen. Nest size depends on species of bumblebee. Most form colonies of between 50 and 400 individuals. . The largest bumblebee species in the world is B. dahlbomii of Chile, up to about 40 mm (1.6 in) long, and described as "flying mice" and "a monstrous fluffy ginger beast". . Bumblebees are in danger in many developed countries due to habitat destruction and collateral pesticide damage. A significant increase in pesticide and fertilizer use associated with the industrialization of agriculture has had adverse effects on the bumblebees. . Nearly 30 of the 265 species are listed as in-decline under the IUCN Red species list: . 🐝 Yellow Bumblebee - Vulnerable 🐝 American Bumblebee - Vulnerable 🐝 Ashtons Cuckoo Bumblebee - Decreasing 🐝 Yellow Banded Bumblebee - Vulnerable 🐝 Variable Cuckoo Bumblebee - Critically Endangered 🐝 Fraturnus Bumblebee - Endangered 🐝 Mucidus Bulblebee - Near Threatened 🐝 Reinigiellus Bumblebee - Endangered 🐝 Crotch Bumblebee - Endangered 🐝 Medius Bumblebee - Vulnerable 🐝 Alpinus Bumblebee - Vulnerable 🐝 Moscardón Bumblebee - Endangered 🐝 Mendax Bumblebee - Near Threatened 🐝 Morrison Bumblebee - Vulnerable 🐝 Rusty Patch Bumblebee - Critically Endangered 🐝 Western Bumblebee - Vulnerable 🐝 Franklins Bumblebee - Critically Endangered 🐝 Obscure Bumblebee - Vulnerable 🐝 Suckley Cuckoo Bumblebee - Critically Endangered 🐝 Haueri Bumblebee - Endangered 🐝 Diligens Bumblebee - Near Threatened 🐝 Rubriventris Bumblebee - Critically Endangered 🐝 Steindachneri Bumblebee - Endangered 🐝 Inexspecatatus Bumblebee - Endangered 🐝 Mexicanus Bumblebee - Vulnerable 🐝 Digressus Bumblebee - Near Threatened 🐝 Bachycephalus Bumblebee - Endangered https://www.instagram.com/p/CNL0F-JBxcj/?igshid=7kvhicsptex1

Cicadas are known as semi in Japan, cigale in France, and cigarra in Spain. How do you say it in your language? . The majority or cicadas are found in the tropics with many species restricted to a single geographical region with limited range, which makes them severely vulnerable and threatened by land development. . Most cicada species are considered annual cicadas—though the term is a bit of a misnomer, as these insects live longer than just one year. Their life span, which is around two to five years, depends on how long it takes for them to reach a mature size and weight. These cicadas do not have synchronized life cycles, so they emerge at different times each summer. . Cicadas begin life as a rice-shaped egg, which the female deposits in a groove she makes in a tree limb. Once it hatches from its egg it will begin to feed on the tree fluids. When the nymph is ready, it crawls from the groove and falls to the ground where it will dig until it finds roots to feed on. The cicada will stay underground from 2 to 17 years depending on the species. . Cicadas are active underground, tunneling and feeding, and not sleeping or hibernating as commonly thought. . 🦋 Online Shop: www.TheButterflyBabe.com 🦋 Instagram: www.instagram.com/ButterflyBabeGallery 🦋 Facebook: www.facebook.com/ButterflyBabeGallery .

This giant earthworm worm was found in extremely rich forest soil in the foothills of the Sumaco Volcano in Ecuador. . It's been identified as a Martiodrilus crassus, which is Latin for "worm which feeds on dogs." Like other earthworms, these giants spend their lives sucking down microbes and decaying plant or animal matter in the soil. . Scientist @phil_torres said, "It had a surprisingly similar feel to the earthworms I dig up in my yard. It felt like a long, slimy, ridged muscle. It seems like it is 90% muscle, 9% dirt, 1% nervous system. If I were starving out there, I might be tempted to cook it.” . However, at five feet in length, it's not the longest recorded worm, nor even the planet's biggest species of earthworm. The Giant Gippsland earthworm, found in the clay soil along streams in Victoria, Australia, can stretch to an impressive 9.8 feet in length! . #science #philtorres #scientist #earthworm #garden #equador #southamerica #gardener #education #educational #learn #learning #cool #weird #natgeo #wild #wildlife #nature https://www.instagram.com/p/CBG35DeHajb/?igshid=kfus3mbe3oad
To defend against predatory wasps, honeybees create a defense wave known as shimmering. Participating honeybees need to respond with perfect timing when it's their turn to shimmer. The strength and intensity of the bees' shimmering is based on the predators flight speed and proximity. Wasps rarely come closer than 50 centimeters from the hive when shimmering is in action. It’s unclear why wasps are intimidated by shimmering, but researches believe they are just confused on how to attack. .

Shoutout to this awesome bug babe — @kelvinwiley . “What you’re witnessing in the video is my adult male Malaysian Dead Leaf Mantis exhibiting threat display. . Threat display is a defense mechanism that mantises use to try and scare off potential predators. They tend to go into threat display when the predator is larger than them. Though many species, like this Malaysian Dead Leaf Mantis, are naturally prone to threat display more often than other species of mantises. . From my experience with having this particular species, I’ve found that they’ll go into threat display over any little thing. Sometimes they’ll go into threat display simply because I walked by their enclosure lol. . While in threat display, a mantis will try and make itself look as scary as possible to its potential predator. With their wings and front raptorial forelegs protruded upwards, they reveal a startling appearance to their attacker. A mantis will even go as far as to lash out with a series of quick jabs like how you see in the video. This is basically its way of saying, Back off!” . Species: Deroplatys dessicata .

Bumblebee wings can beat over 130 times per second, the beating combined with their large bodies vibrates flowers until they release pollen, which is called buzz pollination. Buzz pollination helps plants produce more fruit. .

While grasshoppers are generally known for their various shades of greens and browns to camouflage into their environments, some species have brightly colored underwings like that of the Pink Grasshopper from Peru!
