The creepy-looking cicada is common in the Southeastern United States during the summer. The atmospheric buzzing sound they create is as famous and as recognizable as the chirp of crickets.

Spider

SpiderPortfolioShot, originally uploaded by The Coyote.

Coyote's macro of a translucent green spider is one of the most amazing photos of a spider I've ever seen. Creepy and yet beautiful. It makes me wonder why humans tend to be so afraid of spiders. Perhaps it's simply because they are so radically different from humans?

Newborn Lion Cub

LION - SAVANNAH, originally uploaded by Misadventures(213).

Savannah, a lioness, and her newborn cub. It's a boy!

For somebody who has close contact with many wonderful, exotic animals and the photos to prove it, Misadventures213's photostream is surprisingly under-viewed. Anybody who loves animals should make her a contact and keep an eye on her photos.

This baby chameleon was born May 24th. it was bobbing to and fro between the two branches, looking kinda scared to let go on either side. Maybe baby chameleons need to learn walking too...
