Another saturniid moth, Graellsia isabellae.

One figure, by Paleo-Creatures (Amazing Moths). If I remember, this might have been Jetoar's first insect!

Blaine's Bug-of-the-Day is a Buzz with Bumblebees in the genus Bombus!

2. Schleich (Minis) [a generic bee, not sure if intended to be Bombus or not.]

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

III. Miscellanous Bombus-like figures.
These are generic bee figures but more-closely resemble Bombus than Apis or others (my other generic bees will be posted with A. mellifera when its time comes).

These are all by unknown manufacturers except [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] 1, 2, and 3 which are all by Toy Major ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] was produced for Animal Planet Head Animal Tube - Insects).

Our first cockroaches! For starters, members of the genus Periplaneta.

Leaf-rolling weevils in the family Attelabidae.

I. Rose curculio, Merhynchites bicolor.
One figure, by an unknown manufacturer. This is a tentative ID of mine, based on its resemblance to M. bicolor on a poster of beetles that served as the inspiration for the XX series; this may even be an XX knock-off, but I do not know the full extent of what XX made.

II. Giraffe weevil, Trachelophorus giraffa.
1. unknown manufacturer
2. unknown manufacturer
3. Imperial Toys (Bugs n' Jugs) [this might represent another species, but I have a feeling the green color is just artistic license]
