Olive-brown in colour, with scattered, black spots. Dorsum with many elongated wrinkles. Lips ornamented with broad, black bars. Is like an enlarged version of R. limnocharis, but can easily be distinguished from the latter by the much larger size, stocky body build, strongly tapering snout and the large eyes, which are set very close together dorsally. Flanks spotted, resembling leopard skin. A skin fold extends from behind each eye to the shoulder. Underside white. Throat with dark mottling.Habits and habitat: Its habitat is almost identical with that of R. limnocharis, but this large species requires deeper water, and is much less common for several reasons: (1) habitat destruction (this species may be more dependent on rice paddies than R. limnocharis); (2) is relished as a food delicacy locally; (3) the widespread use of insecticide in modern farming methods. Primarily a lowland species, but has been seen in paddy areas at higher elevations, up to about 450 m.Diet: Feeds mostly on large insects, but also on small rodents and small frogs. The gut contents of some specimens were found to contain partially digested mice.Reproduction: Breeding season commences in early spring. Tadpoles brownish and large, 5 cm or more in total length. Young frogs about 2.5 cm at metamorphosis.Distribution: It is found in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable land, pasture land, rural gardens, urban areas, ponds, aquaculture ponds, open excavations, irrigated land, seasonally flooded agricultural land, and canals and ditches.They breed in spring–early summer.Diagnostic features: Skin wrinkled; with large, irregularly scattered black spots; tapering snout; lips with broad, black bars; checkered spotting on the flanks. Small Cabbage White (Pieris rapae, family Pieridae, order Lepidoptera) are one of the commonest butterflies in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Its caterpillars feed on cabbages and other vegetables. It is slow in flying and easy to approach. The wings are white with black markings. Females typically lay single, elongate, ribbed eggs on host plants. The caterpillars have no spines or projections, but the pupae have a distinctive spiny projection that arises from the head end, and are held upright on the host plant by a silk "belt". They are often seen in groups around bird droppings, urine, or puddles in sunshine. They are serious pests of cabbage crops. Honey Bee - Apis mellifera The Western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a species of honey bee. This species was introduced to China from early 20th century and has been raised widely around the country. In the temperate zone, honey bees survive winter as a colony, and the queen begins egg laying in mid to late winter, to prepare for spring. This is most likely triggered by longer day length. She is the only fertile female, and deposits all the eggs from which the other bees are produced. Except a brief mating period when she may make several flights to mate with drones, or if she leaves in later life with a swarm to establish a new colony, the queen rarely leaves the hive after the larvae have become full grown bees. The queen deposits each egg in a cell prepared by the worker bees. The egg hatches into a small larva which is fed by nurse bees (worker bees who maintain the interior of the colony). After about a week, the larva is sealed up in its cell by the nurse bees and begins the pupal stage. After another week, it will emerge an adult bee. For the first ten days of their lives, the female worker bees clean the hive and feed the larvae. After this, they begin building comb cells. On days 16 through 20, a worker receives nectar and pollen from older workers and stores it. After the 20th day, a worker leaves the hive and spends the remainder of its life as a forager. The population of a healthy hive in mid-summer can average between 40,000 and 80,000 bees. Mealworm Beetle - Tenebrio molitor Order: Coleoptera Family: Tenebrionidae Genus: Tenebrio Species: T. molitor Mealworm beetle is a species of darkling beetle. Like all holometabolic insects, they go through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Larvae typically measure about 2.5 cm or more, whereas adults are generally between 1.25 and 1.8 cm in length. Mealworms are typically used as a food source for reptile, fish, and avian pets. They are also provided to wild birds in bird feeders, particularly during the nesting season, when birds are raising their young and appreciate a ready food supply. Mealworms are high in protein, which makes them especially useful as a food source. They are also commonly used for fishing bait. They can be purchased at most pet stores and bait shops, and are available via mail order or internet suppliers (by the thousand). Mealworms are typically sold in a container with bran or oatmeal for food. When rearing mealworms, commercial growers incorporate a juvenile hormone into the feeding process to keep the mealworm in the larval stage and achieve an abnormal length of 2 cm or greater. Tenebrio molitor is also used for biological research. Its relatively large size, ease of rearing and handling, and status as a nonmodel organism make it attractive for proof-of-principle study. Researchers worldwide, but particularly in Sheffield (UK) and Pusan (Korea), currently use this beetle as a model system for studies in biology, biochemistry, evolution, immunology and physiology. Scarlet Skimmer - Crocothemis servilia Order: ODONATA Family: LIBELLULIDAE Genus: Crocothemis Crocothemis servilia is one of the most common and widespread odonate species in the world, occurring in artificial and highly disturbed habitats and under no threats at present. Crocothemis servilia is an extremely widespread species, occurring throughout mainland tropical and subtropical Asia, Japan, the Ryukyu Archipelago, the greater and lesser Sunda isles, the Philippines and Sulawesi. In the west it extends into Iraq, Iran, Armenia and Turkey. It has been accidentally introduced into Florida in the USA. The Scarlet Skimmer (Crocothemis servilia) is a species native to Asia which was introduced to southern Florida. It was first discovered in the U.S. near Miami, Florida, in 1975 and since has become common across most of the southern half of the Florida peninsula. This species breeds in ponds, ditches, marshes and open swamps. This species does not appear to be under any major threats across most of its range. Male body is red color and female body is yellow in color. Payment Payment: By Paypal Shipping cost Free shipping cost.
