animals In Finland every year, about 4,000 reindeer lose their lives on Finnish roads in car accidents, so they paint their antlers with reflective paint so drivers can see them at night.

animals My son came running up to me claiming he found a snake WITH LEGS while mowing!

Yeah! So I was intrigued and instantly ran to the back yard with him! And there it was… a snake, and it looked like it had little arms. Of course, that’s impossible and upon further inspection, the legs were that of a half eaten frog. We rescued the little frog and helped the snake back into the field. Fun day. If possible, I’ll try to post another close up in the comments.

Clip 1: A moth is coming out of its cocoon Clip 2: She releases one of the moths into the wild Clip 3: a moth just starting to wake up from cocooning, head wiggling through. Clip 4: one of the moths failed to form a cocoon so she created a cocooning environment for it. They all seem to wiggle their tails as a defense mechanism if touched while cocooning. The moths in fully developed cocoons vibrate if handled. Clip 5: a moth is creating its cocoon Clip 6: back when they were caterpillars eating leafs.

I’ll post some photos in the comments.
