The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth. Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

The Ant-Mimicking Treehopper
Treehoppers are a group of insects related to the cicadas and the leafhoppers.
The ant-mimicking treehopper
(Cyphonia clavata) keeps itself safe from predators by pretending to be
an ant. What looks like an ant here is actually extension growths on
its body - which most other insect species are incapable of creating.
