James Brady+FollowMeet the Bone Collector CaterpillarThere’s a wild new predator in Hawaii—a caterpillar that literally wears its prey! Scientists just found this Oahu-exclusive species that snacks on bugs caught in spiderwebs, then decorates its silk case with leftover ant heads and fly wings. It’s like the Hannibal Lecter of the insect world. Only 62 have ever been spotted, and they’re so rare they might even eat each other. Nature is seriously next-level weird sometimes! #WildlifeWednesday #NatureIsMetal #Hawaii #WeirdNature #ScienceNews #Science70Share
martinezlaura+FollowAncient Wasp Had a Venus Flytrap Butt?!Scientists just found a 99-million-year-old wasp trapped in amber—and it had a wild, Venus flytrap-style tail! Instead of stinging, this little weirdo would clamp onto prey, inject eggs, and let its babies eat their way out. The closest thing to it today? Not even another insect, but an actual plant. Nature really went off-script with this one. Fossils keep serving up surprises we never saw coming! #FossilFinds #WeirdNature #ScienceNews #AncientCreatures #AmberDiscovery #Science110Share
