Ha, funny you should mention that.

I got attacked by a very small jumping spider, which promptly found it's way in some pure IPA

. When I put it under the stereoscope, it wasn't dead yet, and the damn thing moved! It scared the crap outta me.

Incredible pics. Thanks much for posting them.....

How much can these magnify? I see 8,000x on the Eye cell picture but can it do more?

Just saw a documentary where it was mentioned (the same one from where the first youtube clip is taken on that site) and foooock.

Nature is a sick sick sick place, I stay inside from now on.

Holy crap Dowly. The video is friggin weird. It looks like sci-fi but it is the truth concerning the fungus.

Thanks for the pics, nikimcbee! They sure are interesting. In the first shot of the ant, it looks like it is smiling!

That website is just sick. Truth really is stranger than fiction! Seeing that worm thing crawl out of the bug and frog was nasty. How can something so long be inside that little bug? In that top video, was it a time-lapse of that fungus thing growing out of the ant's head?
