X-Ray Insects

This website has some really cool x-ray photography of different insects like tarantulas, stick bugs and beetles. I think the insect above is a vinegaroon. The rest of the website has some other cool x-rays too. Nothing like this though:

Colored Lakes

Environmental Graffiti has a cool post about different colored lakes from around the world, I'd love to be able to check some of these out. Maybe not the blood-colored one that stinks, but the others are cool.




The above lake is Five Flower Lake in China, near Tibet. There is a lot of dissolved calcium carbonate in the water that leaches in from the rocks below, so it not only makes the water ultra-clear but also preserves the tree trunks and debris on the bottom.
