Shortly after federal authorities took down a national college admissions scam in March, officials at USC launched their own investigation with emails to dozens of students.
They did not mince words: The school wanted to know whether the 33 students had lied on their applications to USC. Some of the students understood what was happening because their parents had been charged in the federal case. Others were in the dark.
The reason for the emails would soon become clear to them all. They had been linked to William “Rick” Singer, the confessed leader of the admissions con, and they now faced expulsion, depending on what university investigators discovered.

We know butterflies to be colorful, showy creatures. But the brimstone butterfly distinguishes itself as a master of disguise. The little guy has light green wings shaped and textured like leaves.
These beautiful insects are rare.
The saddleback caterpillar is the larva of the slug moth. Its claim to this cute bugs list is the bright blanket of color around its middle. The blanket is primarily bright green with strips of red and white around the borders.
Those colors are warning colors that signal toxicity to ward off predators. The saddleback caterpillar has spikes along its lower sides, head, and tail. The sting from these spikes is poisonous and painful.

This cute bug is a very small desert mantis called the common ground mantis. It lives in deserts, dry meadows, and places with meager plant life. Its pale, sandy color allows it to blend quite well with its environment.
The common ground mantis raises its front legs and tiny wings when threatened. The posture may scare off animal predators but looks comical to most people. To see these cute bugs, you'll have to explore their native habitat in the Middle East.
Most people see weevils as terrible creatures. But a close-up view of the acorn weevil could make you love weevils. With its big eyes, a comical nose, and golden brown fuzz, it is one of the cutest bugs ever.
Baby acorn weevils greatly damage acorn seeds, eating them up completely. The best way to keep them from spoiling acorn seeds is to boil the seed at 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
These insects are one of the largest moth species; their wingspan can be up to 8 inches.
They are bright yellow with red and purple markings. There are eye spots on each wing. The lower wings have long dark tails.
These cute bugs are native to Madagascar and are also called Madagascar moon moths. Adult comet moths don't eat but live off the fat they store as caterpillars. They will only survive for a week.
Have you ever seen a domestic silkworm? Not so cute. But if a silkworm hatched from its cocoon today, you'd find the majestic silk moth. These cute bugs are light brown to blond with cream-colored wings.
A silk moth lives for about three days. During that time, it doesn't eat or fly.
The female orchid mantis is possibly the most beautiful and rarest mantis species. This insect mimics yellow, pink, or white orchid flowers. Its legs look like petals, and its abdomen resembles an orchid lip2.
The orchid mantis’ resemblance to a flower attracts unsuspecting pollinators and confuses predators. People also call it the walking flower mantis, and it is native to southeast Asia.
The Goliath birdeater is one of the largest spiders in the world. Its leg span is up to 12 inches. This spider would have anyone screaming should they find it in a cupboard. But not to worry, the spider is rare and inhabits the forests of South America.
These spiders use their toxic fangs to hunt prey. They use harpoon-shaped hairs on their bodies as a defense mechanism. Some people call it the Central American puppy spider because of its puppy-like size. For more 8-legged info, check out our spider facts.
If you are a fan of Rudolf, the reindeer, you'll think this lanternfly species is the cutest bug ever. The insect has a long curved red nose decorated with tiny white spots.
The insect has beautiful dark green wings with yellow spots. The bottom end of the wings may be a darker shade of green or brownish green.
This colorful bug is truly an art of nature. Its shield-shaped back has a collage of cream, red, blue, green, and black colors.
The Picasso bug is also called the Zulu Hud bug. It is native to tropical and subtropical Africa. When threatened, these cute bugs release a not-so-cute smelly substance. So although they are pretty, they'll stink bomb you if you touch them.
