Cymbidium, commonly known as boat orchids, is a genus of evergreen flowering plants in the orchid family Orchidaceae. Orchids in this genus are epiphytic, lithophytic, terrestrial or rarely leafless saprophytic herbs usually with pseudobulbs. There are usually between three and twelve leaves arranged in two ranks on each pseudobulb or shoot and lasting for several years. From one to a large number of flowers are arranged on an unbranched flowering stem arising from the base of the pseudobulb. The sepals and petals are all free from and similar to each other. The labellum is significantly different from the other petals and the sepals and has three lobes. There are about fifty-five species and sixteen further natural hybrids occurring in the wild from tropical and subtropical Asia to Australia. Cymbidiums are well known in horticulture and many cultivars have been developed.
The hog badger, also known as the greater hog badger, is a terrestrial mustelid native to Central and Southeast Asia. It is listed as Vulnerable in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species because the global population is thought to be declining due to high levels of poaching.
The Apaturinae are a subfamily of butterflies that includes many species commonly called emperors.

The masked palm civet, also called the gem-faced civet, is a palm civet species native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It has been listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List since 2008 as it occurs in many protected areas, is tolerant to some degree of habitat modification, and widely distributed with presumed large populations that are unlikely to be declining.
Chitoria is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae found in Southeast Asia.
Chitoria sordida, the sordid emperor, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in tropical Asia.
Apsilocephalidae is a family of flies in the superfamily Asiloidea. The family was proposed in 1991 as a close relative of Therevidae distinguishable by genitalic characters. The family contains three extant genera and four extinct genera described from the fossil record..
Tawny emperor is the common name of two species of brush-footed butterflies in the subfamily Apaturinae:
Zhang Yufei is a Chinese competitive swimmer who specializes in sprint freestyle and butterfly events. Considered one of the most promising swimmers in the international scene, she currently holds a world junior record in the 200 m butterfly, and also produced a tally of seven medals in her swimming career, spanning the Youth Olympics, Asian Games, and the World Championships.
Kalligrammatidae, sometimes known as kalligrammatids or kalligrammatid lacewings, is a family of extinct insects in the order Neuroptera (lacewings) that contains twenty genera and a number of species. The family lived from the Middle Jurassic to the early Late Cretaceous before going extinct. Species of the family are known from Europe, Asia, and South America. The family has been occasionally described as "butterflies of the Jurassic" based on their resemblance to modern butterflies in morphology and ecological niche.
The Skywalker hoolock gibbon or Gaoligong hoolock gibbon is a primate in the gibbon family, Hylobatidae. It is one of three species of hoolock gibbon and was first described in January 2017 in the American Journal of Primatology. Researchers estimate H. tianxing diverged from H. leuconedys roughly 490,000 years ago.
Mimathyma nycteis is a butterfly found in the East Palearctic that belongs to the browns family.
Chitoria modesta is a butterfly found in the East Palearctic that belongs to the browns family. It is endemic to Southwest China (Yunnan)
Chitoria subcaerulea is a species of nymphalid butterfly endemic to China (Omei-Shan).
Chitoria fasciola is a species of nymphalid butterfly endemic to China.
Sinoalidae is an extinct family of froghoppers known from the late Middle Jurassic to the early Late Cretaceous of Asia. They are one of two main Mesozoic families of froghoppers, alongside Procercopidae, unlike Procercopidae, Sinoalidae is thought to be an extinct side branch and not ancestral to modern froghoppers. Sinoalids have a temporally disjunct distribution being only known from the late Middle Jurassic (Callovian) Yanliao Biota of Inner Mongolia and the early Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) aged Burmese amber of Myanmar, separated by over 60 million years. The family is "recognized by its tegmen with the costal area and clavus commonly more sclerotized and punctate than the remaining part, and its hind tibia with two rows of lateral spines"
This list of fossil insects described in 2021 is a list of new taxa of fossil insects, that are scheduled to be described during the year 2021, as well as other significant discoveries and events related to insect paleontology that are scheduled to occur in the year 2021.
