This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Absolutely blows my mind that nature can do this. How does this flower know the shape and look of a bee?

Evolution isn't changing into things that work. It's passing on genes that happen to work by chance.

Still a bit mind blowing though, wouldn't you agree?

The closer it gets to looking like bee, the more it survive, slowly, only bee looking flowers come to be 🐝
