Hard to say from that photo. You really need a side view or 3/4 view as well. The detail just isn't even clear enough to whether it's a beetle, a bug or a moth from that photograph.

I know a story about an emperor who had a songbird that could sing beautifully.  One day he got a mechanical bird that could sing and became enamored with it and forgot about his real bird.  The bird was sad and flew away.  The mechanical bird broke and emperor became sad and realized how much he missed the real bird.  The real bird came and sang for him again.  It is a nice story.

The so-called "Sausage Fly" is actually the reproductive male of a group of African ants called driver ants (Subfamily Dorylinae).\n\nIn this group of ants, only the males have wings and fly from their home nest in search of wingless females (queens) from other nests.\n\nThey are called sausage flies because their abdomen is enlongated and swollen, filled with sperm.  They are the largest form of any ant known.\n\nThe other driver ants, that make up the majority of the species, look more like normal ants (although they are eyeless).  Some of them have several different sizes of worker ant, and the largest workers often act as specialized soldiers.\n\nHere is a page about them http://antbase.org/ants/africa/clog7.htm\n\nIt includes a good picture of the male 'sausage fly' form, as well as pictures of the more typically ant looking workers farther down the page.

The head of Death is right at the top of the moth, I actually have one right now. It's still a caterpillar, buried itself under some soil. It stays and cuccoons for about 2 or 3 weeks until it's ready to fly and search for nectar and honey to eat, they're very cool:)

Moths cannot bite. They have long tongues which they use to suck nectar. They are totally incapable of doing you any harm.

The 19th letter of the Greek alphabet. \n\nAn elementary particle of the lepton family, having a mass about 3,550 times that of the electron, a negative electric charge, and a mean lifetime of 3 × 10-13 seconds. \n\nIn the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 300\n\nTau is the name of an island near Kilinailau, Greenwich Island, and Ocean Island\n\nIn Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 science fiction gaming universe, the Tau are an alien race\n\nTau is a symbol used from antiquity and is represented by a type of cross. There are those who accuse Christ of being the pirate of this ancient symbol, but it did not become a symbol of Christianity until a later date. As with Christianity, other ancient societies who used the "Tau" symbol also evolved its use to represent resurrection, reincarnation and blood sacrifice.\n\nThe prefix of many cosmic entities, fictional or not. Notably Tau Ceti Five from System Shock 2

Bumble bee is reported in sanskrit literature in India to have its abode in lotus flowers. It is a large,black omnious looing insect that can bore wood easily but does no harm to the delicate petals of lotus.It makes distinct sound like an aeroplane flying far away from you.Its bite is nasty, so one should keep away from it.

To understand this phenomenon, you need to know about phototaxis. Phototaxis is an organism's automatic movement toward or away from light. Cockroaches are an example of a negatively phototactic organism. You've probably noticed how they scurry back into dark corners and crevices when you illuminate their late-night snacking party in your kitchen. Moths are positively phototactic. They seem charmed by your porch light, your headlights or your campfire (even if it leads to their untimely demise). While there is no definitive explanation for this phenomenon, there are some interesting theories.\n\nSome types of moths are known to migrate, and it's possible that the night sky gives them navigational clues. A moth's up-down orientation might depend in part on the brightness of the sky relative to the ground. Some lepidopterists (moth and butterfly scientists) suggest that moths use the moon as a primary reference point and have the ability to calibrate their flight paths as the Earth's rotation causes the moon to move across the sky. (There is even evidence to support the theory that migrating moths have an internal geomagnetic compass system to guide them in the right direction.) So a moth's attraction to an artificial light or to a fire could be related to orientation, and lead to disorientation -- the moth wasn't "expecting" to actually get to "the moon" (the light source) or to be able to fly above it, so confusion results.\n\nIt's also possible that moths have an escape-route mechanism related to light. Imagine disturbing a bush-full of moths at night -- they all fly up and out of the bush, toward the sky. To a moth in danger, flying toward the light (which is usually in the sky, or at least upward) tends to be a more advantageous response than flying toward darkness (which is usually downward).\n\nMoths are more sensitive to some wavelengths of light -- ultraviolet, for example -- than they are to others. A white light will attract more moths than a yellow light. Yellow is a wavelength moths don't respond to.\n\nAnother interesting question is: Why do moths stay at lights? A moth's eyes, like a human's eyes, contain light sensors and adjust according to the amount of light the sensors detect. In high illumination, light from each of the moth's thousands of fixed-focus lens facets is channeled to its own sensor (ommatidium). In low illumination, light from multiple lenses is channeled to the same ommatidium to increase light sensitivity. You probably experience a few moments of blindness when you turn on a bright light after your eyes have adjusted to darkness, or when you are suddenly in darkness after being in bright light. A moth's dark-adapting mechanism responds much more slowly than its light-adapting mechanism. Once the moth comes close to a bright light, it might have a hard time leaving the light since going back into the dark renders it blind for so long. In the case that the moth escapes, it won't remember the problem with flying too near the light and will probably find itself in the same predicament all over again.\n\nAnother possible explanation for why moths stay at lights is that they are mostly night-flying creatures and eventually respond to the light as they would to the sun -- by settling in for their daytime "sleep."

Queen Alexandra's Birdwing is the largest butterfly in the world, with a wingspan up to 1 foot (30 cm). This tropical butterfly is from the Rainforest in northern Papua New Guinea. The caterpillars eat the pipevine plant, which contains poison; this makes the butterfly toxic to predators, which will get sick if they eat it. They quickly learn to leave these huge butterflies alone.\n\nAlso just for your edification, the smallest butterfly is the Nepticulid moth, which is 0.1 inch long.

Duma, I see you've already asked this question twice. What you should do is contact some invertebrate researcher (in a museum or natural history institution) for help, because local keys and checklists of fauna are not easy to find unless one knows where to look for them.\n\nHere are some links to papers with reference to Asian species, that's the closest I could get.\nhttp://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/39.4/285-294.pdf\nhttp://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/40.4/276.pdf\nhttp://www.senckenberg.uni-frankfurt.de/odes/03-11.pdf\n\nHere's a link to a journal that specializes in invertebrate systematics:\nhttp://www.publish.csiro.au/nid/121/issue/529.htm\n\nAnd here's the citation of two papers about freshwater earthworms:\n \nOhtaka, A.; Usman, R. 1997.

A collective name for a group of butterflies is called a 'Kaleidoscope'.  \n   However others have called it a 'Swarm' or 'Rabble'.   \n   In addition, the collective name for a group of caterpillars is 'an army'

google it..type in scientific insect names. That always helps. OR type in the name of the insect, and all sorts of stuff should pop up
