The adult body length is approximately between 35 and 40 millimeters, with bright blue wings and black and white spots on the edges. The larval stage is very special, and there is a symbiotic relationship with ants. They will spend time in specific ant nests, where ants protect their larvae and provide food. Larvae will mimic the appearance and behavior of ants to gain their acceptance. This unique lifecycle makes the Blue Butterfly very demanding of its habitat, requiring specific plants as a food source and habitat adjacent to ant nests.
Emperor moth caterpillar specimen
The emperor moth is a large moth species known for its spectacular wings and unique life cycle. The wings can extend up to 20 to 30 centimeters, making it one of the largest species of moths with wings. The larval stage is spent in a very narrow cocoon, and when they are ready to transform into adults, they must pass through a cocoon opening that is relatively small to their own body. For them, it is a huge challenge because only through this difficult process can the wings obtain sufficient blood supply and thus acquire the ability to fly. The mouthparts of adult insects will degrade after metamorphosis, so they cannot eat and can only rely on the energy stored during the larval stage for survival.

The wings are transparent or semi transparent, with two pairs, the forewings and hindwings, which can quickly adjust the angle during flight, achieving high difficulty movements such as hovering, quick turning, and diving in the air. Larvae live in water and feed on small aquatic animals, while adults prey on other flying insects in the air. The hunting method is very unique, able to chase and capture prey in the air.
Green Haired Butterfly Specimen
It is a small butterfly belonging to the family Nymphalidae. It is known for the bright green and white stripes at the bottom of its wings, while the upper part of its wings is a relatively dull brown. Males may perform spiral flight near shrubs, while females are less conspicuous and are usually detected during egg laying. Larvae mainly feed on plants such as rock roses and common bird footed grasses, which grow on calcareous grasslands. Distributed on various soil types, but strongly associated with areas with shrubs and shrubs. Widely distributed in the UK and Ireland, but not for garden visitors, it is usually difficult to spot. It is a medium priority species for butterfly conservation.

Leopard moth specimen
Also known as garden tiger moth, it is a widely distributed moth species in Europe and Asia, also found in North America. It is named "caterpillar" because of its bright orange and black markings on the adults and the long, dense black and ginger yellow hair covering the larvae. Active during the summer months of July to August, especially in shrub covered sand dunes, forest edges, wetland grasslands, parks, and gardens. Larvae mainly feed on nettles, soursop, and other garden plants, which provide a rich source of food. Adults feed on nectar and fly at night, possessing a protective coloration to warn predators of their unpleasant taste. It can also generate harsh sounds by rubbing its wings to resist natural enemies
Pearl edged butterfly specimen
It is a medium-sized butterfly known for its pearl shaped white spots at the bottom of its wings and bright orange wings. It appears very early in spring and can be found in forest clearings or rough slopes with ferns in April. Usually flying near the ground, often stopping to smoke spring flowers such as snowballs. The conservation status of this butterfly is highly valued in the UK, and its population is rapidly declining in the UK and Wales, currently in a highly threatened state. Larvae mainly feed on plants of the Violaceae family and require sufficient food. Plants grow in short and sparse vegetation, with abundant fallen leaves.
Swamp shell butterfly specimen
It is a butterfly distributed in Europe, especially in the UK, Ireland, and some Nordic countries. Named after their habitat in moist grasslands and marshy areas, they are highly dependent on these specific habitats. Wings usually appear orange and black, and the back of male butterflies' wings has a blue sheen. Larvae feed on specific plants, which is crucial for their survival. Therefore, the distribution of marsh shell butterflies is limited by the habitat of their host plants. Progress has been made in the conservation of marsh mother butterflies in some areas, such as increasing their population through the implementation of specific conservation projects and habitat restoration plans.
Jersey tiger moth specimen
It is a medium-sized moth species distributed in the southern region of England, known for its striking black and white striped forewings and bright orange red hind wings, with black spots on the hind wings. Adults are active during both day and night, visiting various flowers in warm weather and being attracted by light sources at night. Larvae feed on various herbaceous plants and maintain a small body size in winter, until they start feeding and undergo their last molting in spring, followed by pupation. It is a native moth species in the UK, but it is also possible to migrate from the European continent during the summer. They were once only found along the southern coast of England, but in recent years their distribution has expanded.

Spotted hyena skull specimen, University of Wyoming Library
The spotted hyena was first officially described by German naturalist Johann Christian Polikap Erxler in 1777. The ancient Greek root of the scientific name of the spotted hyena was used by Pliny the Elder to describe an unknown animal in Ethiopia, possibly the hyena. In literature, it means' object in the color of saffron '. Although spotted hyenas have some similarities to the canidae family, they are more closely related to the civet family. Spotted hyenas belong to the cat suborder, so they are closer to the feline family than to the canine family. The spotted hyena is currently the largest member of the hyena family. It is believed that the ancestor of the spotted hyena branched out from the striped hyena during the Pliocene period (5.33-18 million years ago).
