Damn Mother Nature, U Trippy: See-Thru Jewel Caterpillar

This is a Jewel Caterpillar spotted by naturalist (NOT naturist) and photographer Gerardo Aizpuru near Cancun, Mexico. No word if it tastes like a gummi worm, but I'll let you take the first bite.

Photo take in a mangrove area , found this Stoning translucent caterpillar lay on a Red Mangrove tree leaf this morning early. Just can believe there is some species like this around the world. looks like made of glass whit small red mushroom inside every pic. about 3 cm long.

Glass with a small mushroom inside? That sounds like a pipe I used to own. Speaking of -- I've actually smoked with a caterpillar before: Absolum from Alice in Wonderland! Back me up, bro. "I've never met you in my life." Come on, man -- we got high and watched all those flowers sing!

Hit the jump for several more worthwhile shots including the fuzzy moth it eventually becomes.

    This is a time-lapse of the world's ocean currents from June 2005 to December 2007. It's pretty trippy. Like watching your own face melt off in the mirror of a Cracker Barrel bathroom because you were tired of fighting that one piece of ham that was trying to sneak off your p... / Continue →

    The Pinwheel Galaxy (higher res version HERE) got its name because it looks like a pinwheel. Geez, it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure that one out. Or maybe it's cause it loves Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels so much. Well guess what -- so do I! And Starcrunches? Do... / Continue →
