Artificial Bugs, As a form of Insect Animal

Artificiality (also called factitiousness, or the state of being artificial or man-made) is the state of being the product of intentional human manufacture, rather than occurring naturally through processes not involving or requiring human activity.[from wikipedia]

Bee

Flying insects closely related to wasps and ants.They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.

Image
Beetle

Coleoptera, commonly called Beetle,contains more species than any other order in the animal kingdom,constituting almost 25% of all known life-forms.

Image
Butterfly

Day-flying insect of the order Lepidoptera.Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts.

Image
Caterpillar

The larval form of a member of the order Lepidoptera.Many moth species are better known in their caterpillar stages because of the damage they cause to fruits and other agricultural produce.

Mosquito (Culicidae), As An Insect, A Form Of Animal

Mosquitoes are small, midge-like flies that constitute the family Culicidae. Females of most species are ectoparasites, whose tube-like mouthparts (called a proboscis) pierce the hosts' skin to consume blood. Thousands of species feed on the blood of various kinds of hosts, mainly vertebrates, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and even some kinds of fish. Some mosquitoes also attack invertebrates, mainly other arthropods. Though the loss of blood is seldom of any importance to the victim, the saliva of the mosquito often causes an irritating rash that is a serious nuisance.[from wikipedia]

Image
Moth

Closely related to the butterfly.Moths are not easily differentiated from butterflies. Sometimes the name "Heterocera" is used for moths while the term "Rhopalocera" is used for butterflies.

Image
Mantis

A colloquial name for the order is "praying mantises",because of the typical "prayer-like" stance, although the term is often misspelled as "preying mantis" since mantises are predatory.

Spider, As An Arthropod Animal

Image
Gerridae

Some gerridae are commonly known as water striders,water bugs, magic bugs, pond skaters, skaters, skimmers, water scooters, water skaters, water skeeters, water skimmers, water skippers, water spiders, or Jesus bugs.
