“Jewel Caterpillars” are the larvae of Dalceridae moths. Their gooey coating is unpalatable and therefore serves to protect them from predators. Instead of forming a cocoon, the larvae builds a cage where it will pupate. Image sources [x][xx]

From the Department of Animals with Built-in Awesome Hats:
This is a Northern Royal Flycatcher, a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family. It is found in Mexico, south through most of Central America, to north-western Colombia and far western Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. They are 16.5–18 cm (6½-7”) long, with an erectile fan-shaped crest, coloured red in the male and yellow-orange in the female. The display with the crest fully raised is seen extremely rarely, except during banding sessions. And we must say, it’s pretty spectacular.

Edgar Allan Poe (right) appears in the oldest-known photograph taken inside an American museum, the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, itself the oldest natural science museum in the Western Hemisphere.
This picture is undoing me.

Ever say to yourself, “Hey, I wonder what her ass looks like in a strap-on harness and Polish military boots…”
Now you know.
DEAR LADY A: The people I know who claim they’re bi are attention-seeking and creepy. I honestly think, of the “bisexuals” I know, the guys are just gays who can’t emotionally handle being gay, and the women are trying to keep potential boyfriends interested with the promise of threesomes….
It’s incredible how often people say shit like this to me. Her answer, though, is a magical salve that soothes the chemical burn of stupidity and close-mindedness #thumbsup
