I am talking about the animal kingdom,  I am including bugs in case some scientists gives me some mumbo jumbo on how insects are not part of my question.  Such as my link above of acid spraying ants. 

Pretty crazy!

 

How about you?

Also I have not personally seen acid spraying ants. 

HOLY F**K!

Starship troopers anyone?.... I cant be the only one.

Species that I've not seen

Wow.

Speaking of weird repoductive cycles:

Basically the males are tiny compared to the females, and they just swim around till they find a female, then latch on and are absorbed into the female becoming essentially a sperm switch for her to use when it's time to fertilise.



The Bold Jumping Spider

Their fangs are bright green with this weird metallic sheen to them. Plus the ones that live around my house have patterns on their abdomen look like little faces.

Able to jump 50 times their own body lengths..... cool.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

In person, probably an octopus or a giant squid (the squid was dead, obviously, I'm not captain Ahab battling sea monsters). As to the craziest stuff I haven't seen, basically anything that lives in the deep ocean, it's all nightmare fuel (albeit awesome-looking  nightmare fuel) down there.
