In this photo taken on July 3, 2025, lovebugs crawl over a wooden post on the peak of Gyeyangsan Mountain in Incheon, west of Seoul. K-pop's BTS are grossed out by them. A YouTuber ate them. Hikers plough through them: South Korea is dealing with a “lovebug” invasion that experts say highlights worsening climate change. (Photo by Anthony Wallace/AFP Photo)

Combat between two male stag beetles, Italy, 2022. During the mating season, male stag beetles (Lucanus cervus) go into a frenzy, with lively but harmless clashes, in which bigger males often have the advantage over smaller ones due to their impressive mandibles. Longer larval development and genetic traits can increase the size of some individuals, but all saproxylic beetles are threatened by poor forest management, logging and dead wood removal to “clean” the forest.

Boulder Valley Honey bees roam in their hive on June 11, 2025 in Boulder, Colorado. Pollinators contribute over $30 billion annually to U.S. agriculture, but rising threats like climate volatility, habitat loss, and Varroa mites have left many beekeepers struggling to maintain healthy colonies.

Caterpillars of the oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea) are pictured as they cluster together on the trunk of a tree on February 20, 2025, in Odense, Denmark, where 850 nests with these allergenic caterpillars are being removed by local exterminators. The oak processionary moth, Thaumetopoea processionea, is a nocturnal moth, with long, silver-gray toxic hair that can trigger allergic reactions, serious illness, and in the worst case, death. The toxic hair can be spread by the wind and the caterpillar might have been brought to Denmark via oak trees imported from Germany. (Photo by Mads Claus Rasmussen/Ritzau Scanpix via AFP Photo)
