They say you are what you eat, and it’s especially true with the translucent ants. Scientist Mohamed Babu from Mysore, India, placed specially colored sugar drops in his garden to attract the weird insects his wife found near the house sipping the spilled milk.

People were always fascinated about the future, so they’ve tried to picture all those cool inventions the future is about to bring. Every generation has it’s own image of the future world, and the best part is of course seeing it come true. That’s why we want to show you a collection of future predicting postcards made around 1900 by Hildebrands company, and see how accurate they were.

Ever wondered how your penis or breast size compares to the rest of the world? Which countries smile and which countries don’t? How smart are your fellow countrymen compared to the other nations? And nobody taught you that in school? Well, we collected a list of offbeat and fun maps that will answer your questions!

Don’t know about you guys, but we just love looking at things really close up! So, we are very excited to introduce you to an Armenian physics teacher Suren Manvelyan who used his friends, colleagues and pupils as models to make amazing close-ups of the human eye. He never thought he would see anything like that – when viewed really close up our eyes look like some dramatic surfaces of far and unknown planets. You have to see it!

Somewhere between the greatest world-changing inventions there were some fun and sometimes even hilarious inventions the world has forgotten. BoredPanda proudly presents these Cool Inventions From the Past – enjoy, comment and don’t forget to subscribe!

Camouflage is not just about chameleons changing their colors in an instant but it’s also about polar bears being white and not brown like the grizzlies. In fact, a zebra with its striped covering is a camouflage animal. However, there are exceptions: animals which are dangerous to eat (e.g. wasps) advertise with warning colouration.

In the 19th century it was considered shocking that humans could have evolved from apes, yet less than 150 years later it is largely taken for granted. These images by Daniel Lee give an Artist’s view of evolution.

Freedom, exhilaration, adventure: The dream of personal flight is as old as mankind. In the 21st century the daring vision of Daedalus has finally come true! Depending on pilot weight, a standard JETLEV-FLYER could reach an altitude of 10 m, top speeds of 65 km/h and has a cruising duration of 1 – 2 hours. So, stop dreaming – start flying!

No matter how powerful God seems to be, he sometimes just runs out of paint (melanin), and every time this happens an albino animal is born. Albino animals are rare in nature, and a man always had a fascination for these creatures since ancient times. Some cultures considered albinos as sacred animals,while others – as demoniac ones, but I’m sure you will find it very educating to see this list of 26 weird albino animals.

If you looked down the most powerful light microscope in the world, you’d be able to distinguish individual objects that are around 200 nanometres apart – roughly 1/500 the width of a human hair. But objects closer together than that would just merge into one. This is because the wavelength of visible light is longer than 200 nanometres.

But electron microscopes use beams of electrons, instead of light. The wavelength of these electron beams is much shorter, allowing scientists to see structures as small as 1 nanometre (1 millionth of a millimetre).

When you get bored of looking at the world with your own eyes why not look at it trough a microscope?

Just looking at the micro world takes our breath away – it’s incredibly rich, beautiful and active. I’ve heard that even science people after looking at the smallest corners of our world see a god here.
