The head-stander beetle is a species of fog basking beetle that is native to the Namib Desert of southern Africa. Native to a very arid yet very foggy region, the beetle is nicknamed the "head-stander" beetle for its habit of tipping its head downward and using its legs and the rest of its body to collect water. Fog condenses on the beetle's body to form water droplets. It then directs these drops towards its mouth to hydrate.
Tectorigenin is an O-methylated isoflavone, a type of flavonoid. It can be isolated from leopard lily, in Iris unguicularis or Pueraria thunbergiana.

Hohenbuehelia is a pleurotoid genus of agaric fungi characterized by gelatinous-sheathed bowling-pin-shaped cystidia, on conidia, basidiospore germ tubes, and mycelium that adhere to and capture nematodes. The fruitbodies bear thick-walled cystidia (metuloids) in the hymenium along the gill sides and that differentiate the genus from Pleurotus in the Pleurotaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 50 species.
Mangiferin is a xanthonoid. This molecule is a glucoside of norathyriol.
