AWWWWWWwwwwwww!

Dyna Moe’s time-lapse drawing on Illustrator. I like seeing her photo reference here and all the detail. She uses a mouse—not a drawing pad. That’s crazy! Enjoy.

How incredible. The world is full of wonders.

This awesome creature (yes, this really is a living thing, not a piece of candy or glass) is a Jewel Caterpillar (Acraga coa) spotted by naturalist and photographer Gerardo Aizpuru near Cancun, Mexico. No word if it tastes like a gummi worm, but we’ll let you take the first bite. Here’s Gerardo’s own description:

“Photo take in a mangrove area , found this Stoning translucent caterpillar lay on a Red Mangrove tree leaf this morning early. Just can believe there is some species like this around the world. looks like made of glass whit small red mushroom inside every pic. about 3 cm long.”

The bottom image, as you might’ve surmised, shows the bright and impressively furry moth that this wicked little caterpillar eventually becomes. Transforming from one sort of awesome creature into another different, but still entirely awesome, creature? We’re seriously impressed.

Do you recognize this awesome robot? You should if you’re a fan of Hayao Miyazaki’s anime films. This sculpture is a life-size version of the robot soldier from Laputa: Castle in the Sky, which wasStudio Ghibli’s first feature film.

And guess what! You can visit him in person for the price of a flight to Tokyo and admission to the Ghibli Museum. It’s definitely on our To Do list.
