The bugs that are not

This is NOT a butterfly, it's a threadwing, and it's related to ant lions and lacewings. Most of you will probably never see one: it's endemic to Southern Caucasis region.


This is NOT a stretched-out ladybug, but a totally different beetle, called blister beetle.


NOT a bear. A very large (size of your palm) moth.



NOT you garden variety tiger swallowtail, but the endangered European counterpart.



NOT a ritual mask from a Japanese kabuki theater. Just a juvenile assassin bug.
