I shot him before he could shoot me.

I just found this cool little YouTube video of a colorful assassin bug in Borneo.

And an informative National Geographic video: Assassin Bug vs. Bat.

Flies Are Spies

I have this theory that flies are spies for the insect kingdom. I mean, look at them! Those eyes! They are clearly built for surveillance. They sneak into our homes on recon missions, to monitor the development of swatter and spray technology. And they apparently have trouble getting out! This is a sad and all-but-cliche image of a typical soldier, found dead on the front lines (a window sill). I half-expect to see him clutching a tiny scroll like it’s the plans to the Death Star. RIP, my little friend.

Leafhopper Whee!

I love leafhoppers. There are over 20,000 known species, making them one of the largest families of insects. Don’t click this link unless you want to see a LOT of pictures of leafhoppers.
