You can huff and you can puff, but you ain’t going to blow this house down. Balancing on a rock in the middle of the Drina River in Serbia, this house has been pounded by floods and high winds – surviving everything nature could throw at it for 45 years. The idea for it came

WTF? Damn Nature you Scary
This is nature at its absolute disgusting, creepy, horrific best. Australian skater Brent Askwith was working on a film when he saw a huge spider. He killed it with some insecticidal spray and then a massive parasitic worm…well just watch the video.

Its total wing surface area can measure a whopping great 400 centimetres square (62 square inches) and greater. The wings have

This is a very rare glimpse into the Elephant Hawk Moth (deilephila elpenor) caterpillar mimicking a snake. When startled, the caterpillar draws its trunk into its foremost body segment.
