This crow has allowed itself to be covered in ants

Birds engage in a fascinating behavior called anting, where they rub insects, especially ants, on their feathers and skin. This can be done actively by picking up insects and applying them to their body or passively by lying in an area with abundant insects and performing dust-bathing-like movements. The insects secrete chemicals like formic acid, which possess insecticidal, miticidal, fungicidal, or bactericidal properties, providing potential benefits for the birds' health and plumage maintenance.

Happy Bicycle Day! If not for two vilified institutions- pharmaceutical companies and the CIA we might not have LSD. A reminder that sometimes the cosmic light shines through even the darkest of cracks…

Neurons in a culture dish trying to form connections with each other. Sped up to show 8 hours in 1 second. Bright spots are the neuron nuclei. We have 100 billion of these in our brain. Amazing.

This is the craziest and most beautiful thing I’ve seen. Nature is even more complex than we think. It’s has CRYSTALS for eyes!

Scallops have a large number (up to 200) of small (about 1 mm) eyes arranged along the edge of their mantles. Each one relies on a concave, parabolic mirror of guanine crystals to focus and retro-reflect light thru millions of square tiles https://t.co/BaRL65MA72
