Pure Geek



This has very little to do with culture, or language, or medicine.

This is a photo of an ant, right?  Kind of strange, though - it looks both black and red.  And wait a second... count the legs.  There are eight.  It's not an ant, it's a spider!

This is batesian mimicry (try to look like something that tastes bad so you don't get eaten).  It even moves like an ant.  I would've been completely fooled if I hadn't seen it swing down from a door frame on silk.

Pure geek.
