Nudibranchs are probably the most colored animals in this world.
These
amazing "sea slugs" are members of one suborder of soft-bodied,
shell-less marine mollusks, which are noted for their often
extraordinary colors and striking forms. Scientists have discovered
more than 3000 species of these little moving rainbows.
Their
wonderful colors are due to the loss of the shell as a protection.
Some of them developed colors to achieve a perfect camouflage with
their habitat, others on the contrary developed garish flamboyant
colors to warn their predators about their toxicity.
They vary in adult size from 2 to 60 cm.

Carnivorous insects often have to get their water from somewhere other than their prey, and often they'll go to plants for their water too, drinking from fruit maybe. Or they might sip from the morning dew or from raindrops or from edges of ponds or puddles.
