Species-scape

Posted by Alex in Animal, Science & Tech on December 19, 2008 at 12:49 am

This infographic, titled Species-scape, purports to show various species at sizes relative to the number of known species in that group. Insects, represented by the fly, is the largest (at about 900,000 known species). If you’re wondering where we are, humans (and other mammals) are represented by the reindeer underneath the mushroom.

One day, Fendy Sutandio of Orimath blog looked at his garden and found this strange "Zombie Hand" fungus. It does look like a zombie’s hand digging itself out of its grave!
