Apis indica is the best suitable species for bee culture.
Apis cerana indica, the Indian honey bee, is a subspecies of Asiatic honey bee. Relatively non-aggressive and rarely exhibiting swarming behavior, it is ideal for beekeeping.
Their nesting habit means that they can potentially colonize temperate or mountain areas with prolonged winters or cold temperatures. Colonies contain only a few thousand workers, compared to the 50,000 typical of European honey bees.

The highest pesticide used crop in India is Cotton.
Cotton crop is the largest consumer of pesticides in India, genetically modified Bt cotton seed was introduced in 2002-03 specifically to reduce its consumption. With only 5 percent of gross cropped area, cotton reportedly consumes 36 - 50 percent of total pesticides.
It is widely accepted and Bureau of Industrial Costs and Prices (BICP)'s analysis also confirms that cotton and rice are the major pesticide using crops in India.

The major waste of terrestrial insects is Uric acid.
Most terrestrial insects produce uric acid as their main nitrogenous waste product. Uric acid is a relatively non- toxic and highly insoluble waste product. Therefore, it can crystallize out of solution and may be either retained in the body, or eliminated as a solid waste material with little water loss.

The probosis in the mouth parts of the butterfly is formed from Galea of maxillae.
A long, slender proboscis is formed by the two galeae of the maxillae which interlock to enclose a central food canal. Only galea of maxillae of the two sides joins to form a long coiled proboscis.
Butterflies and moths have mouthparts specialized for probing into a flower and sucking out nectar.

Pink boll worms belong to the order Lepidoptera.
Bollworm, any larvae of various moths belongs to order Lepidoptera, including the pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella, family Gelechiidae) and some Helicoverpa species.
The pink bollworm is an insect known for being a pest in cotton farming. The adult is a small, thin, gray moth with fringed wings. The larva is a dull white caterpillar with eight pairs of legs with conspicuous pink banding along its dorsum. The larva reaches one-half inch in length.

Secondarily wingless insect is Head louse.
Head lice are wingless insects that spend their entire lives on the human scalp and feed exclusively on human blood.
