Beetle

The Zebra Dove is a small, brownish-grey bird belonging to the dove family Columbidae, easily recognized by its distinctive black-and-white barred pattern on its neck and sides. Native to Southeast Asia, it feeds mainly on small seeds and grass grains found on the ground. Celebrated in traditional culture for its gentle demeanor and melodious, soothing cooing call, this bird is frequently kept in gardens and homes across Bali as a symbol of tranquility and good fortune.

Lizards are scaled, cold-blooded reptiles characterized by long bodies, four agile legs, and typically a long tail that can detach as a defense mechanism against predators. Active during the day (diurnal), they bask in the sun to regulate their body temperature and feed primarily on insects, spiders, and small invertebrates. Agile and alert, lizards are a common sight darting through tropical gardens, stone walls, and natural landscapes across Bali, playing an important role in controlling local insect populations.

Koi are domesticated ornamental varieties of the Amur carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) widely kept in outdoor ponds and water gardens for decorative purposes. Renowned for their striking color variations—including white, red, black, yellow, and orange—koi are active, friendly freshwater fish that symbolize good fortune, strength, and perseverance. They can grow quite large, live for several decades with proper care, and thrive in clean, oxygen-rich freshwater environments.

Butterflies are beautifully winged insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera. They undergo a complete metamorphosis, progressing through four distinct stages: egg, caterpillar (larva), chrysalis (pupa), and adult butterfly (imago). Renowned for their vibrant wing patterns formed by tiny, delicate scales, these insects are diurnal—active mainly during the day—and play a vital role as natural pollinators for flowering plants.
