Bug 'o' the Day


Stalk-eyed fly

It's real, and it's real cool!  Those red 'balls' are its eyes on the end of those stalks.  Pretty neat.  There's some good info on Wikipedia about them if you want to learn more:

I generally like Wikipedia for their pages on organisms.  They tend to be very scholarly, and at the least they are a good starting point for learning more about nature.
