The Fascinating, Frightening World of Insects: It’s a photographic exploration of the insect world.  Extraordinarily cool!

Friday Ark #160 has plenty of zoological zaniness for you.  Check it out for great photos and news from the animal kingdom.

Unconscionable!  “Daisy Mae, an outside cat, had a routine. When she wanted to come back in the house, she’d mew outside Bryan Booker’s bedroom window, the teen would open the window, and she’d jump in. But late Thursday night, the 3-year-old white longhair cat meowed weakly, then limped to the front door, dripping blood from her mouth, where someone apparently had shot her.”  And come to find out, they shot her twice: once in the face and once in the gut.  This is why my cats will never be outside cats. . .  I hope they find the perpetrator and do more than give them a slap on the wrist.
