I was putting a penny in his hand to see if he'd swallow it like those old non-PC money boxes they used to sell.

Probably loads of insects which i cannot name but otherwise a pipistrelle bat.


Very common but look so weird and fragile up close.

[Kiwi]

I don't like bats, but flying foxes are cute.

I saw a scorpionfly which I thought was odd because I had never seen anything like it before, and I saw another one a few years later, but none since.

A few months ago I saw a very weird creature crawl out of a load of pumpkins that was probably from Mexico. It didn't look like any bug I'd ever seen. It was very long, maybe around 4 inches, and looked sort of like a cross between a mantid and a couple of beetles end on end, and moved awkwardly. I was too wary of it to go in for a closer look because I didn't know if it could sting or bite. Someone else saw it and raised their eyebrow not knowing what to think of it either.

The strangest non-arthropod I've ever encountered was probably the frilled lizard I saw at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on the same day I went to see Lucy.

It actually put its side flaps out and displayed them for me. That was awesome.

Aye Ayes are very interesting creatures ecologically. I think it's cool how a primate can look so different from other primates.

What's sad is that many of the local people will kill these creatures when they're already endangered.

[MasterWolf1]

It looks like it has a face of a bat.

[JTFFan]

Yes lol
