17. Contrasting wood cockroach
There's so many species of blattodeans (cockroaches & termites,) with v few being considered pests by humans. Some are incredibly colourful, some are metallic & shiny like jewel-beetles, others have bold patterns. They're very underrated.

@lycomorpha.bsky.social16. Elfin saddle. (Yes I know, it'll be new year by the time I catch up, IDC.)
At some points I find myself wondering about our ancestors, & precisely which mushrooms they'd been eating when they decided this looked like a saddle. Because uhh... Ouch.
