Nature never ceases to astonish. This is the larva of the Pink Underwing Moth, an endangered species which lives in the subtropical rainforest below about 600m elevation in the Australian states of New South Wales and Queensland. It has evolved a remarkable set of patterns to ward off potential predators.

This remarkable structure can be found in Place des Jardins in Paris and is known as a bee hotel. You may be wondering what bees need a hotel for, when they make their own hives. The truth is that many species of bees are solitary – the do not live in hives but instead construct their own nest. The main reason for this is because in these species every female is fertile and this would not make for comfortable communal living in a hive.

Small hermit and soldier crabs in Malaysia and Australia build their home digging a deep hope in the sand on a beach. They got a good idea of how to move sand up during his construction. Down in the hole this crab is making sand balls and later push them up to the surface, 2-3 balls at a time. Pushing sand ball more far from the hole they form a kind of sand ball flower or sand ball galaxy.

Mysteries surround a special grove of trees standing—or should I saysitting—in the middle of a forest in the village of Nowe Czarnowo, south of Szcezecin, Poland. These 400 or so pine trees are bent at a 90 degree curve on the base with the open side uniformly facing north. The trees are believed to have been planted in the 1930’s and were somehow bent by an unknown force and for an unknown purpose for a considerable number of years.

If you think that Hobbits are fictional, do not be fooled a second longer. Middle-earth once existed, as did all of its various species. Yet the hobbits found themselves obliged to leave their original home of The Shire. Rescued by the ancestors of a mild-mannered English writer, they have spread across the world. A spell cast by the Gandalf the White means that the sons of men cannot see them but if you look close enough, there is evidence to be found. A hobbit has to live somewhere, after all. Here are just some of the houses of the Hobbit diaspora.

There’s been a lot of hype about the Dutch and their bikes in the international media recently. Here at the Netherlands by Numbers office, we love our bikes – the more battered the better – so we thought we’d put together a few facts.

Have you ever wanted to take a trip through time to see what animals looked like millions of years ago? When it comes to cats there is little or no need. This beautiful specimen is a Manul, otherwise known as Pallas’s Cat. About twelve million years ago it was one of the first two modern cats to evolve and it hasn’t changed since. The other species, Martelli’s Cat, is extinct so what you are looking at here is a unique window in to the past of modern cats.

Let’s face it, some people like their pets big! If you are looking for a large dog there are a number of breeds which are generally referred to as giants. Be careful, though – you should only consider these breeds if you have lots of space, lots of time and quite a deal of money. The Ark in Space takes a look at the giants of the canine world.

Ask a ten year old what the largest bird in the world is and the chances are you will get the right answer – the ostrich. Asked about the second largest and the odds are still very good that they will be able to name the Emu. Go for third place in the size league and you may well start to get blank looks from all but the keenest young ornithologist. The answer is the Cassowary – and not only is it endangered but is also classified as the world’s most dangerous bird.
