Spotted Ground Beetle – Craspedophorus mandarinus

Order: Coleoptera

Family: Carabidae

It can easily be recognized by the 4 orange spots on the elytra.

Ground beetle is a large family comprising some 20,000 species worldwide, mostly ground beetles to be found in leaf litter, under stones, and in soil. Many species have wings atrophied and the elytra fused together, so the adults are flightless. Adults are predacious and usually black in colour, Larvae are elongate and very active, and are fierce predators on small invertebrates in the soil.

Spiny Spider - Gasteracantha kuhlii

Order: Araneae  Suborder: Araneomorphae  Infraorder: Araneomorphi  Series: Entelegynae
Superfamily: Araneoidea  Family: Araneidae  Subfamily: Gasteracanthinae  Tribe: Gasteracanthini  Genus: Gasteracantha

Habitat: Gardens, wasteland, secondary forests.
Female: 7-10 mm.
Male: 4-6 mm.
Distribution: China, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, Hong Kong, Japan.

The spiny orb-weavers are a type of spider. They are also commonly called Spiny-backed orb-weavers, due to the prominent spines on their abdomen.

13 Star Golden Ladybird Beetle - Synonycha grandis

Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds (British English, Australian English, South African English), ladybugs (North American English) or lady beetles (preferred by some scientists). The family name comes from its type genus, Coccinella. Coccinellids are found worldwide, with over 5,000 species described, more than 450 native to North America alone. Coccinellids are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are commonly yellow, orange, or scarlet with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, head and antennae. A very large number of species are mostly or entirely black, gray, or brown, however, and may be difficult for non-entomologists to recognize as coccinellids (and, conversely, there are many small beetles that are easily mistaken as such, like tortoise beetles).

They are generally considered useful insects as many species feed on aphids or scale insects, which are pests in gardens, agricultural fields, orchards, and similar places. Some people consider seeing them or having them land on one's body to be a sign of good luck to come, and that killing them presages bad luck. A few species are pests in North America and Europe.

Golden Cockchafer - Popillia mongolica

Order: Coleoptera   Family: Scarabaeidae   Subfamily: Rutelinae   Tribe: Anomalini   Genus: Popillia

Body length 8-11 mm, Pronotum shiny metallic green, brown with vertical fin Alice stripe, abdominal end there are two white spots. Adult in the May-July, living in low-elevation mountains.

Scarabs (family Scarabaeidae, order Coleoptera) have antennae that end in a kind of club, made up of several movable plates. The males of many species have horns, which they use when fighting over females. Eggs are laid – and larvae can be found -  in soil, the dung of herbivorous mammals, rotten wood, and decaying matter. Some adult dung beetles use their hindlegs to roll fresh dung away in balls before burying the balls and laying their eggs inside. Others bury dung where it is. They can be found worldwide on dung, carrion, decaying matter, fungi, and vegetation; under bark; and in the burrows of vertebrates or in ant and termite nests.

Stripe Bug – Graphosoma rubrolineata

Distribution: Northern China, Eastern Siberia, Korea and Japan
The adult body length 8-11 mm, 7 mm wide. First black; Tentacles of brown-black, red yellow base 2. Small black-shield stripe backward unchanged fine,
Both stripe and the direct-shield edge. Foot brown-black, red and yellow legs of a spot; Back in black body and red pick-and longitudinal stripe, black head

Leaves and adults in rural gap in the winter, the coming year 4, 5 with the activities of the host eggs on the branches. Early Age
Nymph clusters, scattered after the age of two. Major feeding carrots, fennel and onions.

Shining Leaf Beetle - Acrothinium gaschkevitschii

Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae

Distribution: Eastern China
Body size: 4.5 – 9 mm

This is a really beautiful little beetle with metallic red/green wing cases (elytra). The species occurs throughout China, Japan, Korea and is also found in Siberia. Apparently it’s a pest of grapes, so it appears on the “regulated” lists in the USA and New Zealand.

Leaf beetles (order Coleoptera, family Chrysomelidae) range from Cylindrical and elongate to round-backed. Many species are brightly coloured or metallic. The antennae are less than half the length of the body, which is typically smooth and hairless. Groups of eggs are laid on host plants. The larvae live inside plant stems. Pupation normally occurs in the soil. Can be found in subtropical regions and widespread on plants in all terrestrial habitats. 

Red Wasp - Vespula rufa

Order: Hymenoptera   Family: Vespidae  Genus: Vespula

Vespula rufa, commonly known as the red wasp, is a social wasp species belonging to the genus Vespula. It is found in northern and central Europe, parts of Asia, and northern parts of North America. Vespula rufa is characterised by red-brown markings and body segmentation, with the appearance varying amongst the different roles of individuals in the species. These wasps build small nests in dry banks underground that are not far below the surface. The colony cycle begins in the fall. Vespula rufa feed on live insects. One interesting fact about Vespula rufa is that the queen policing occurs in the species, and that worker policing occurs at much lower rates than other species in the genus Vespula. There are predators and parasites of the species. The species goes through a series of events before leaving the nest.

Big-head Ant - Pheidologeton diversus

Distribution: Tropical and sub-tropical Asia (China, Taiwan, Japan)

Description: Total length between 1.3 and 2.5 mm in minor workers. Body color yellowish brown to reddish brown in minor workers: reddish brown to blackish brown in majors. In minor workers: head rectangular with weakly convex posterior margin in full face view; mandibles each with 5 teeth; antennal scapes short, not exceeding posterior margin of head; each of the apical two funicular segments long, their combined length longer than the rest of funiculus; promesonotum relatively strongly convex in profile; metanotal groove deeply incised; dorsum of propodeum convex; propodeal spines long, with acute apices. In major workers: head proportionately large, almost square, with convex posterior margin in frontal view; anterior margin of clypeus straight, with a shallow median notch; mandibles large, triangular, with an acute apical tooth; masticatory margins without distinct teeth; eyes relatively small; ocelli present; antennal scapes 0.5 times as long as head; subpetiolar process present.
