Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are insects in the order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be distinguished by the fact that the wings of mostdamselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the forewing, while the hindwing of the dragonfly broadens near thebase. Damselflies are also usually smaller than dragonflies and weaker fliers in comparison, and their eyes are separated.
Ladybug
"Ladybird" and "ladybug" are part of Coccinellidae a family ofbeetles, known variously as ladybirds.
Coccinellids are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are commonly yellow, orange, or scarlet with small black spots on their wingcovers, with black legs, head and antennae. Such colors patterns vary greatly however; for example, a minority of species, such as Vibidia duodecimguttata, a twelve-spotted species, have whitish spots ona brown background.
Cockroach
Cockroaches are insects of the order Blattaria or Blattodea, of which about 30 species out of 4,500 total are associated with human habitats. About four species arewell known as pests.
Among the best-known pest species are the American cockroach, Periplaneta Americana, which is about 30 mm (1.2 in) long, the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, about 15 mm(0.59 in) long, the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai, also about 15 mm (0.59 in) in length, and the Oriental cockroach, Blatta orientalis, about 25 mm (0.98 in). Tropical cockroaches are often muchbigger, and extinct cockroach relatives and 'roachoids' such as the Carboniferous Archimylacris and the Permian Apthoroblattina were not as large as the biggest modern species..
