Nice! 😃

The mindblowing “La Moto Volante” motorbike can transform itself into a hoverbike! 🤯 🏍.

See ya later 👋! The nest was the first discovered in the U.S.

Crews with the WSDA Pest Program vacuumed the hornets from the tree cavity into large canisters Saturday. The nest was about the size of a basketball and contained an estimated 100 to 200 hornets.

The specimens will be used for research purposes, said Sven Spichiger, an entomologist with WSDA, during a press conference Friday afternoon.

These alien-like creatures are virtually invisible in the deep sea.

Nature found a way to make those terrified of sharks even more worried about the ocean. A shark with two heads (previously at BB). Two damn heads!

Skybalonyx skapter, though, may have looked even more peculiar, the release said.

The presence of a Asian giant hornet nest, also known as murder hornets, has been confirmed in Washington state.

“The rumors are true — our entomologists located the first-ever #AsianGiantHornet nest in the U.S. late yesterday,” a tweet from the Washington State Department of Agriculture reads. It also includes a video of the nest.
