While we as humans continue to try (and fail) to live in peace and harmony, it is worth remembering that the world around us is a brutal, unforgiving place.

We have tamed our lives to such an extent that it is easy to turn a blind eye to the horrors of nature, sure, we as a species are far more damaging to our planet than all others put together, but let's not pretend that it's all sweetness and light out there!

This list, compiled by Bored Panda, is a reminder that we live in a scary world. Some of these things are simply wonders of nature that we may not like the look of, like spiders and centipedes. Some show the raw power of the elements, while others illustrate the horrific things that other creatures to do each other in order to survive. All of these things are awe-inspiring examples of nature, something not to be feared, but to be respected. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

    I love "pet" spiders, as I call them. They live in one corner of your apartment, feed on insects and sometimes climb down to investigate your belongings. If I happen to become roommates with one, I always make a point to leave some water for it to drink, if it needs it. My favourite spider of this kind used to live in my mom's bedroom. It only had 5 legs and we named it Oggie. The tiny spider loved to crawl on my mom's sketches(she's an engineer) and kept her company. I was 5 at the time and it was one of the first examples of invertebrates' personalities I was to see.

    I have pet spiders too and they live in the corner of each room- I don't disturb them and they don't disturb me. We live in the countryside and horse flies are a massive nuisance but my lovely 'pets' keep my house from being over run. I hate that people scream and kill spiders when the little ones in the UK never hurt you. They are our friends not enemies. Flies are the danger and enemy!

    Aw, come on! I only screamed once and fled out the front door. The spider was as large as my hand with a body the size of a pink eraser. I don't try to kill them but I can't sleep if one is in the room. They have a wicked sense of humor and run across my face. At least the Palmettos snuggle within the curved fingers of my hand when I am sleeping. Neither bite, but I always wake up terrified.

    I had a spider lived in the greenhouse/conservatory ouside the back door - it was quite big and I would put dead flies on its web every day - it got bigger and fatter and then gave birth. The thousands of microscopic spiderlings creeped me out

    Spiders are fully capable of catching their own food and should be let to do so. Like dogs defend us and cats catch mice, spiders help us out with small unwelcome insects like mosquitoes. Well, when their kids show up are a completely another story...😳

    aw like the kitchen spider I had a few summers ago when we had a cat, his food was a fly magnet and despite our best efforts some flies still managed to find there way in. Queue the arrival of kitchen spider and our fly problem was halved. Although kitchen spider was a messy eater and I spent a lot of time having to wipe the door frame under where he lived.

    Something similar happened to me once, but well, the other way round. I was on a sea holiday and came upon a large blue dragonfly, drowned in the sea. Now, I was saddened for the poor thing, but also ecstatic, for I have a collection of pinned insects, all of which were found dead, for I just can't bring myself to kill alive ones for the purpose. I carried it around in my palm, wondering where exactly was I to put it, for I didn't have any other dragonflies and the thing was huge. Suddenly, it moved! A second later, again! It became progressively more active, until it could stand on its legs and turn his head around in curiosity! I separated its wings carefully(they stuck to each other from the salty water) and it shook itself a little. I left it cleaning itself on an oak on a quiet path and I do hope it recovered completely. :)

    A gigantic flock of starlings, most likely of the species Sturnus vulgaris. In some parts of the world, they inhabit rather inconvenient places, such as fields around large airports, where the help of specially trained dogs is needed to shoo them out of the way before a plane takes off or lands.

    Actually due to the whereabouts of a lot of homes in Australia, these little critters are likely not that far from their natural habitat. :) Especially where I used to live in far North Queensland, this is more common an occurrence than one may think.

    That gecko was actually well-fed - his tail stump is quite fat. I suspect that he just had a bit of an oopsie - someone scared him or something, and he shed his tail. He probably calmed down soon after and saw the wiggling morsel, and thought that it was time for dinner...

    A few commenters have asked - yes, it's Australian; it's a huntsman spider. Generally harmless and quiet, but occasionally they can have a real attitude. I once waled into a roon to see one on the oposite wall about 5 metres away, and the beastie reared up and waved its legs at me whichever direction I walked. And I once was bitten under the armpit by one that had crawled under my sheets - stung like a wasp and itched for two weeks, with the blood vessels in the area looking dark and swollen. I did put the poor thing outside though - I felt sorry for it being pressed against me...

    It's formic acid, which is similar to vinegar. It's the chemical that gives ants their stinky smell when they're crushed.

    I always wondered what that smell was. Most people I know can't smell ants but I can. I once had ants in my ice cream and didn't realise it. I will never forget the taste or the smell. Fire ants, I hate. Their bite is quite bad. I got bitten by some in Queensland when I was very little. Not fun. Not deadly, but I don't like pain.

    I don't think many of the respondents know how many different types of acid there are. Orange Juice has acid in it. Pineapples have acid in them. Every carbonated drink has carbonic acid. Vinegar doesn't hurt nor do the other kinds we eat and drink.

    I'll just leave this here from the Black Swallower Wikipedia page: "Black swallowers have been found to have swallowed fish so large that they could not be digested before decomposition set in, and the resulting release of gases forced the swallower to the ocean surface. This is, in fact, how most known specimens came to be collected.[6][7] In 2007, a black swallower measuring 19 cm (7.5 in) long was found dead off Grand Cayman. Its stomach contained a snake mackerel (Gempylus serpens) 86 cm (34 in) long, or four and a half times its own length"

    They're swarming, so pretty harmless. Bees sting to protect the queen or the hive. A swarm has no hive to protect and you'd have to directly handle the queen pretty roughly to get any of them bothered enough to sting you. They're too focused on finding a new home to care about you.

The first time I saw one jump across the living room floor I kind of freaked and threw my $600 cell phone at it. (Thank goodness it didn't break) I panicked lol. They actually help keep all the other creepy crawlies under control so I leave them alone in the basement.

    This reminds me of that: "A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, “What’s with those guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!” The doctor chimed in, “I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such inept golf!” The priest said, “Here comes the green-keeper. Let’s have a word with him.” He said, “Hello, George. What’s wrong with that group ahead of us? They’re rather slow, aren’t they?” The green-keeper replied, “Oh, yes. That’s a group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.” The group fell silent for a moment. The priest said, “That’s so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.” The doctor said, “Good idea. I’m going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there’s anything she can do for them.” The engineer said, “Why can’t they play at night?”"

He has since been charged millions of dollars and will have to pay back the government for the rest of his life. He'll never get a paycheck.

    This reminds me of these hardcore Russian folktales where after the hero kills three dragons, their wives and mother declare revenge. One of the wives turns herself into an apple tree so that she can kill the hero and his companions when they try to eat from the tree. The hero already knows this in advance and cuts the tree to pieces before his companions can eat from it. Oh yeah, and human blood gushes out while he does it!

    Yes, he took a picture and hopefully let a health professional remove the glass, because otherwise he would have definitely blinded his friend... Indeed, an intelligent being in this case ;)

    If you want one, come to the US. Gars are plentiful here in most southern lakes. I have personally seem 8 foot long alligator gars caught in a lake in Texas. I think the record at Lake Texoma is 225 pounds.

    A lot of them probably died supporting the underwater structure in order to save the bulk of the colony. I wonder if humans would act as selflessly as these ants if came to it.

    They're Hydrophobic, that means they actually repel 100% of water, so the ones on the bottom are no worse off than the ones on the top ^^
