Happy Thought for 21 October 2022
Have a Happy Thought:
Creatures on this planet are far weirder than anything sci-fi writers and CGI artists can dream up. Here’s a few examples (that will, no doubt, inspire both writers and artists):
A peppermint stick insect (Megacrania
batesii). As a defense mechanism, it shoots a spray that, to humans, smells
like peppermint.
Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula)
In fact, Crinoids are so weird they need
an explainer…
An unrelated, but important bonus
topic: Bird of the Year 2022 has begun. Voting is open until 5pm on Sunday 30
October (New Zealand time).
The best part about this is the
social media frenzy that erupts. From city governments to the Prime Minister to
overseas diplomatic posts, everyone picks a contestant to back.
