| Insect known for eating wood. Some build large mounds out of excavated soil and their own saliva and feces. | |
| Famous for its incredibly deceptive camouflage, it is barely recognizable from the branches in which it lives. | |
| This one has large raptorial forelegs which enable the insect to seize prey in a fashion similar to the closing of a Swiss Army Knife. | |
| A generally bright-coloured insect, it has four wings and a long, narrow body. It is always found near water. | |
| Capable of stridulating by rubbing its hind legs on its wings. Its very long legs enable it to jump long distances. | |
| A major predator of the aphid, adults have two membranous wings with vein patterns on them. | |
| Most recognizable by the pair of pincers at the end of their abdomen; the males' pincers curve and the females' are straight. It will certainly be found in damp crevices. | |
| A specific species of butterfly, it is very well-known in the UK with its velvety black wings intersected with red/orange bands and white spots. | |
| Part of the beetle family, they are very small and usually red or yellow with black spots. | |
| Preferring to live in damp places, this insect takes oxygen and combines it with luciferin in a special cell inside its body. This process enables its abdomen to emit light. | |

| The myth about this insect is that it will be the only living creature left on Earth if a nuclear explosion was to destroy it. | |
| Found almost everywhere in the world, it is the animal that causes the most human deaths per year. | |
| It is the larva of a domesticated moth. First domesticated in China during the Han Dynasty because its cocoon is made of a useful material. | |
| Very brightly coloured insect, usually with an iridescent sheen (like the back of a CD). They usually have the colouring of precious gems, hence their name. | |
| Amazingly, they can roll animal waste material weighing 50 times its weight. They bury the balls of excrement for later consumption or as a mating place. | |
| Thick and leathery, it has a mulititude of legs, though not as many as its name suggests. | |
| Usually found under the leaves in gardens, they will release an unpleasant odour when handled or threatened. | |
| This insect larva is sought after by the Aboriginal Australians as a high-protein food. It is the wood-boring larva of a moth. | |
| One of the most beneficial annelids for soil, it eats decaying vegetation and expels it in the form of rich humus, known as castings. | |
| Attach themselves to a host using a mixture of mucus and suction and feed on the blood; however, not all varieties do this. | |
