I love 20-legged armoured butterflies.

Well, except they're a bit heavy.

And their jetpacks kind of singe when they land on you.

Utterly, utterly wonderful. Thank you!

Intredasting.

The Field Museum footage after one of the links is part of a full-wall display in a room dedicated to Cambrian life as part of an exhibit called "Evolving Planet". It's very soothing to just stand there and watch the sea bugs skitter around.

@3 I want to go to there.

@4: Next time you're in the Windy City, definitely do so.
I have trouble with the exhibit, though, because there's a room full of fossils from the Fossil Lake deposit, where a paleontology camp I went to excavates. I always end up standing around in the exhibit for half an hour, obsessively telling passersby all about Knightia, Diplomystus, Phareodus, Mioplosus, Priscacara, and the terrifying Lepisosteus.

I love this.

Please wait...
