The bordered plant bug (Largus succinctus) is a black, oval-shaped insect with a bright orange or red margin around its body. It’s a member of the Largidae family and feeds on plant sap from leaves, stems, and fruits. Though common in gardens and fields, it typically causes only minor damage to plants. An interesting fact about bordered plant bugs is that when threatened, they release a foul-smelling chemical from glands near their hind legs — kind of like a built-in defense spray. This odor helps deter predators such as birds and lizards. When bordered plant bugs are young (called nymphs), they look quite different from the adults. Nymphs are usually bright red or orange with a black head and legs, and they don’t have wings yet. As they grow, they go through several molts, gradually darkening in color and developing the black-and-orange border that adults have. You’ll often see groups of these colorful nymphs feeding together on plants

Rhinoceros beetles are a subfamily of large, herbivorous scarab beetles known for the prominent horn on the males' heads, which they use in fights with other males for mating rights. These beetles are among the strongest insects, capable of lifting up to 850 times their own weight. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, with adults feeding on nectar and sap, while their larvae consume decaying wood and roots.
