Family: Mixed Orders
Description:

Trypoxylus dichotomus, also known as the Japanese rhinoceros beetle or Japanese horned beetle, is a species of rhinoceros beetle. This species of beetle is often found in broad-leaved forests with tropical or sub-tropical climates. This beetle is well known for the prominent cephalic horn found on males. Males will use this horn to fight other males for territory and access to female mating partners. Upon contact, males will attempt to flip each other onto their backs or off of their feeding tree. In response to selective pressures, smaller male T.dichotomus have adapted a "sneak-like behavior". These smaller beetles will attempt to avoid physical confrontation with larger males and try to mate with females

Cicadas are known for the loud airborne sounds that males of most species make to attract mates. Unlike members of the order Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids), who use stridulation to produce sounds, members of Cicadidae produce sounds using a pair of tymbals, which are modified membranes located on the abdomen.

Macrocheraia is a genus of bugs in the family Largidae with a single species, which feeds on Euphorbiaceae and Malvaceae
