Amorphophallus is a large genus of some 170 tropical and subtropical tuberous herbaceous plants from the Arum family.

Once the spathe opens, pollination must happen the same day. The inflorescence, in many species, emits a scent of decaying flesh, in order to attract insects. Through a number of ingenious insect traps, pollinating insects are kept inside the spathe to deposit pollen on the female flowers, these stay receptive for only one day, while the male flowers are still closed. These open the next day, but by then female flowers are no longer receptive and so self pollination is avoided. The male flowers shower the trapped insects with pollen. Once the insects escape, they can then pollinate another flower.

is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. Like all Lepidoptera, they are notable for their unusual life cycle with a larval caterpillar stage, an inactive pupal stage, and a spectacular metamorphosis into a familiar and colourful winged adult form.

They are important economically as one of the major agents of pollination.

They are nested within the evolutionary tree of moths. Their origins may date back to the Cretaceous Period, ending 65 million years ago.

are notable for their hunting abilities. They are exclusively predatory, and their diet usually consists of living insects, including flies and aphids; larger species have been known to prey on small lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, and even rodents.

Prey are caught and held securely with grasping, spiked forelegs ("raptorial legs"); the first thoracic segment, the prothorax, is commonly elongated and flexibly articulated, allowing for greater range of movement of the front limbs while the remainder of the body remains more or less immobile.

The articulation of the head is also remarkably flexible, permitting nearly 300 degrees of movement in some species, allowing for a great range of vision (their compound eyes have a large binocular field of vision) without having to move the remainder of the body.

is a species of crab spider with holarctic distribution.

The color change is made possible by secreting a liquid yellow pigment into the outer cell layer of the body. On a white base, this pigment is transported into lower layers, so that inner glands, filled with white guanine, become visible. If the spider dwells longer on a white plant, the yellow pigment is often excreted.

They have been placed into an ancient group of insects termed the Paleoptera, which also contains the dragonflies and damselflies.

The adults are short-lived, from a few hours to a few days depending on the species.

In most species, the males' front legs are unusually long, for use in locating and grasping females during mid-air mating.
