As long as the frickin' spiders don't learn to fly, it's all good.

If we gather enough of these and some of those fish that jump out of water, we can recreate some Super Mario Brothers levels.

More biological curios, but more intimate and with less flying squids.

Let us not be lulled into terrestrial complacency by this marine menace. As a public service I remind you all about (http://www.flyingsnake.org/) Flying Snakes (who not only plague the skies, but also have their own Home Page!).

The chitin spheres on the thorax protrusion are likely (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanal_organ) tympanal organs.
It's basically a cicada with a hearing aid.
