Not everything in nature is as beautiful or as hilarious as we're mostly used to. It has a dark side, too, and I'll completely understand if this list by Bored Panda forces you to build a pillow-fort in your living room and avoid going outside for a week.
From a mama centipede protecting its babies to a wasp colony building a nest around a discarded doll, these pictures feature some of the scariest things Mother Earth has to offer. Scroll down to test how brave you are, and vote for your favorite entries.

Call the Supernatural fandom you found the opening now we can save adam
I would definitely have nightmares if I see it in real life. Super Creepy!
I did too, in fact, before I did a Google Image search, I commented on what an awesome piece of art it is! Ahhh! the many gifts of art that Mother Nature bestows upon us for inspiration, and perhaps, reminders that we best take good care of Her so that we may continue to appreciate Her bounty!

I wouldn't be able to stand there, like this woman. That red, yawning mouth.. no thanks!
Oh my that really is creepy. At first I thought it was photo shopped with bodys melting into it. WOW
It looks like some people are being dragged in and others are trying to climb out.
Reminds me of the waste tray on a thermal wax printer. I have to wonder, how many sentences that start with "This lava pit" *don't* end up in hell?
Remember "the Devil's Advocate", with So Pacino, Keanu Reeves, and Charlize Theron? This lava formation reminds me of the sculpture behind Pacino's desk.
What an incredibly amazing and thought provoking piece of art! Kudos!
It still amazes me how nature can turn something out like this. It also amazes me how people perceive this so differently from each other. Truly amazing what nature can do and what people think of it.
I don't like him anymore than most people do, but really I hope you have a signed release, giving you permission to show the POTUS a*****e ! !

The ice fox is a total fail. There's no way I'm not getting closer to check that out if I saw it.
#23: not a bee hive... just wasps... the a******s of the insect world
#28: That not "the head of its vanquished enemy"... That's an earwig's a*s.
Would love to share this, but I won't. Why can't you put something on here that doesn't have fifteen unnecessary swear words in it???
Now there is the beginning of nightmares swimming through my gills as I happily swim as a mermaid in a dream... it's going to end with mermaid me in the picture!! Ewwwwww! No! Now anyone reading this comment is thinking the same thing right!! Sorry!! That thing is not... it must hail from the river Styx it's so hellish!! Maybe that's why those who ferry people like Dante and Virgil are silent!!
My sense of horror is exhausted by the degree of nopeness here, but fortunately everyone's hilarious comments have balanced it out and I can go about my day untraumatised. Thanks everyone!
Oh no, why did I decide to read this just before bed?! I only got as far as the centipede too, just typing that made me shudder a lil.
ok, more nopes added on list. thank you bored panda, you guys very kind~
Anyone calling canada goose 'wimpy' never face one lol That thing is f*****g aggressive and the bite hurt a lot. Another american sucking his own d**k probably lol
