Close-up of a harvestman in Yorkshire, UK. Harvestmen are commonly mistaken for a spider – they have eight legs, two palps, and like spiders they are carnivorous, but the similarities end there. Harvestmen don’t spin webs and they aren’t venom producing. Spiders have two parts to their bodies but in the harvestmen, these two parts are fused together as one.

This undated handout picture made available by Professor Maydianne Andrade of the University of Toronto on September 20, 2016, shows an adult female Australian redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti) with dead a male near her mouthparts. Widow spider males, known for their tendency to end up as a post-coital snack, have developed a rather gruesome method of saving their own skins, scientists revealed on September 21, 2016. To avoid becoming the lunch of adult females, some males have taken to inseminating juveniles which have no external genitalia yet – penetrating right through their exoskeletons to deposit sperm.

A picture made available on 16 September 2016 shows a Black hairy Caterpillar on a tree at the rain forest in the Cherrapunji, Meghalaya, India, 26 August 2016. Cherrapunji might have lost its title of the “wettest place on earth” to nearby Mawsynram by a few mm but it definitely retains its charms as a monsoon paradise with a quite a few titles to its name. Situated in the north eastern state of Meghalaya whose name itself means “abode of rain” Cherrapunjee is bursting at the seams with monsoon magic. (Photo by Harish Tyagi/EPA)

A spider with the face of an Alien on its back looks like a creature from another planet. The vibrant arachnid, a type of orb-weaver, is more commonly known as an Alien Butt Spider. Two eyes on the spiders back are used to confuse predators, who would expect them to be at the front. The spiders scientific name is Araneus praesignis – with praseginis being Latin for outstanding.

In this photo provided by Geoffrey Williams, a drone honey bee emerges from a honeycomb. A new study out of the University of Bern in Switzerland found that the common insecticide neonicotinoid reduces the amount of live sperm in drone honey bees by 39 percent. Honey bee drones’ main job is to inseminate the queen and then they die. (Photo by Geoffrey Williams, University of Bern via AP Photo)

With its fuchsia-pink body and bright beady eyes, this pretty little grasshopper looks like shes hopped straight out of a Disney movie. But the little critter is actually a rare pink female grasshopper. Spotted in the Shropshire countryside, the glamorous bug looks she belongs in an exotic rainforest – but instead shes made Prees Heath Common Reserve, near Whitchurch, her home. The unique grasshopper was caught on camera by keen wildlife photographer John Harding July 22, 2016. (Photo by John Harding/Caters News)
