Coccinellidae, commonly known as ladybugs or ladybird beetles, is a widespread family of small beetles. The larvae of the Coccinellidae family have long, waxy filaments protruding from their tops and sides. So far, they have been found living in shrubs or bushes well-shaded by tall trees. Heavy rain can wash them away; however, some may survive if they are hiding under leaves. Most Coccinellidae species are carnivorous predators. In their natural forest habitat, they coexist with other insects such as ants, planthoppers, and treehoppers. Coccinellidae were highly vulnerable to attacks until they evolved two anti-ant defenses. The first is a woolly coat made of wax filaments, which is almost impossible for ants to bite through. In a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on September 1, 2024, Coccinellidae larvae with a white flower-like camouflage defense mechanism to avoid predators were observed sitting under a leaf.

Millipedes are a diverse group of arthropods that can be found around the globe. Some species swarm together during mating season or to hunt for food, and some studies have theorized juveniles swarm together and deploy similar lines of defense for protection from predators. When a squishy, lone baby millipede travels alone, it's a vulnerable target. But in a swarm surrounded by its siblings, it stands a better chance of surviving. While migrating, the swarms often become two or three millipedes deep, they stumble over each other to crawl forward in unison Millipedes are born in clusters that hatch at the same time. They stick together from day one. A similar cluster of millipedes only slightly larger than the juvenile patch, lingering only a few inches away. Millipedes feed on algae-covered, nutrient-rich patches of soil that spring to life during the rainy season. Juvenile millipedes can't subsist on dirt alone, so they seek out patches of soil that are covered in organic matter. Because this organic matter typically grows in patches that are exposed to sunlight, young millipedes are more exposed in the open and are vulnerable to attack. A flock of baby millipedes is in Tehatta, West Bengal, India on 23/08/2023.

The severe cyclonic storm Amphan had left a trail of destruction in its wake over Satkhira, Bangladesh on August 13, 2020.Suroj ali is a fisherman, prepares to catch fishes. Thousands of men and women go into the Sundarbans forest in Southern Bangladesh every day to gather honey, collect firewood, or catch fish, crabs and putting themselves at great risk for a tiger attack. Bangladesh is one of the country’s most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The regular and severe natural hazards that Bangladesh already suffers from tropical cyclones, river erosion, flood, landslides and drought are all set to increase in intensity and frequency as a result of climate change. Sea level rise will increasingly inundate coastal land in Bangladesh and dramatic coastal and river erosion will destroy lands and homes. These and the many other adverse effects of climate change will severely impact the economy and development of the country. One of the most dramatic impacts will be the forced movement of people throughout Bangladesh as a result of losing their homes, lands, property and livelihoods to the effects of climate change. While it is impossible to predict completely accurate figures of how many people will be displaced by climate change, the best current estimates state that sea level rise alone will displace 18 million Bangladeshis within the next 40 years. The vast majority of these people will be displaced within Bangladesh not across international borders presenting the Government with enormous challenges, particularly when it comes to finding places to live and work for those displaced.
