1. Picasso Bugs
Belonging to the group Sphaerocoris annulus, the Picasso beetle lives mainly in Africa. This bug is named after the artist Picasso for its ability to use color on its body to warn off predators.
2. Orchid Mantis
Found in Southeast Asia, this mantis impresses with its ethereal beauty but is a “bloodthirsty” insect. They use their mimicry to attract pollinators and attack them so they don’t have time to react.
3. Hummingbird Moth
The coverage of this species is quite wide, they are found in most areas, from North America, Africa, Europe to Asia. They are likened to hummingbirds because of their ability to move and eat nectar like this bird.
4. Wasps
This insect lives all over the world (and, of course, with the exception of Antarctica). They do not sting people and live on parasitic wasps. Their sparkling appearance is the result of rather complex refraction of light, and until now, scientists did not know why they had such a wide range of colors.
5. Green grasshopper
The insect endemic to Africa will change the color of its wings and secrete a milky liquid to warn off predators.
6. Thorn beetles
The beetles are found in abundance in Latin America. They are a common pest in southern Florida with characteristic spines on their bodies.
7. Mr. Rose Maple
The Rose Maple Moth belongs to the family Dryocampa rubicunda and lives mainly in North America. They are known as one of the smallest moths with a maximum wingspan of only 2 inches.
8. Gray leaf beetle
This insect is found in most of Southeast Asia. These tropical bugs look so much like leaves that herbivores regularly ingest them.
9. Peacock Spider
This spider is known for the dance of “attracting” mates in males. They are one of the endemic species in South Australia.
10. Golden Ladybug
The golden ladybug, scientifically known as Charidotella sexpunctata, lives mainly in South and North America. They have a coin-like appearance with transparent edges. Interestingly, this iridescent color fades as they die, leaving a dull reddish-gold color.
11. Green Caterpillar
At first glance, this caterpillar of the Automeris io family may seem as harmless as moss or artificial grass, but they cause a painful sting. Its characteristic spikes can cause soldering, itching, and redness.
12. Morpho Blue Butterfly
This rare butterfly is found in South and Central America. They are one of the largest butterflies with a wingspan of 7.5 cm (3 inches) to 20 cm (8 inches).
13. Flower Mantis
South and East Africa are the only two areas where this insect is found. With green, pink, yellow and red variations, this species is cannibal and mainly feeds on caught insects. However, they are not always so brightly colored, when newly hatched they look like black ants.
14. Sapphire Spider
This extremely rare spider lives in India and Sri Lanka. Their blue color is said to be for the purpose of finding a mate. The sad news is that the International Union for Conservation of Nature has classified this spider as critically endangered due to hunting and habitat loss.
15. Beetle
This beetle of the genus Chrysochroa buqueti is endemic to the land of the golden temple. Unlike the insects above, beetles use the vibrant colors of their bodies to camouflage themselves, rather than as warning signs of predators.
