This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

With bold patterns and vibrant colors, the Picasso Bug (Sphaerocoris annulus) looks like it walked right out of a painting.

Native to tropical Africa, this tiny shield-backed bug uses its dazzling design to warn predators: "I'm toxic, don't touch me!"
