The wasp-mimicking hoverfly (Mesembrius sp.) is bright yellow in color with black stripes and can be found in Australia, India, England, and the UK. There are three conspicuous black markings on the thorax, and the abdomen is banded with black and yellow. In the 2nd segment, the black bands are connected by a median band. The wings are tinted with a pale brown. This fly is commonly found either resting on leaves or feeding on flowers. Its warning colors are effective at mimicking a wasp. It has short antennae and a single pair of wings, indicating it is a fly. Hoverflies have smaller antennae and larger eyes than wasps and bees, with their eyes appearing to wrap around their head. The wing-vein pattern helps to identify it as a hoverfly. This photo was taken in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 07/03/2024.

Scytodes is a genus of spitting spiders that is found in North America, Argentina, India, Australia, and New Zealand. It has six eyes instead of the eight spiders usually have. Scytodes is a spitting spider, so called because it spits a venomous sticky silken substance over its prey or escaping predators. Sticky gum is expelled from their fangs and can be shot up to ten body lengths from the spider. When the string of venomous substance is shot, anywhere from 5 to 17 parallel overlapping bands cover in a crisscrossed ''Z'' pattern the meal and kill it. The spider typically bites the prey with a venomous effect. The spider usually strikes from a distance of 10 to 20 millimeters (0.39 to 0.79 in) and the entire attack sequence only lasts 1/700th of a second. The carapace is unusual in sloping upwards towards its rear end, whereas the abdomen slopes downwards. Spitting spiders are typically solitary until mating or hunting due to their aggressive nature. In the presence of humans, these spiders are found in dark corners, cellars, cupboards, and closets of houses.
