Timelapse view of hornets constructing a nest. At one point during a camping trip when I was young one of my fellow hikers stepped on one of these. It did not go well for the humans.

Having a bad day?

Just take a look at the Japanese emperor caterpillar! they’re sure to cheer you up! they’re happy to see anyone!

These guys really love to peek, and their cute horns make it all the more better!

Soon. they actually just mean that hugs are coming to you soon, there’s nothing to worry about~

They’re also very silly. 

What do you mean I can’t listen to leaf?

They’re also very little but still love meeting new friends!

Look at this tiny one, stepping into the world to start peeking!

Tiny peekers in training! they’re doing well.

Need I mention cat ears?

When you’re feeling sad, just think about these emperor caterpillars. they’d probably love to peek and see a pretty human with a smile on it’s face. 

@emperorjex

but what do they turn into?

These cuties turn into the purple emperor butterfly!

Pretty creatures, don’t you agree?

Such a cute couple! Maybe they trained in peeking together?

They may not peek anymore, but they sure are cute and cool creatures!

Peeking couple!! :000

The researchers used
high-speed photography and an instrument called a Rheometer to analyze frog saliva under prey-capturing
conditions.­­­­­­­ The scientists think frog tongues could one day
help engineers design reversible soft adhesives that could work at high speeds.
