Modern people sometimes might forget they’re part of nature. With the unending cycle of stress about money, relationships, and the whole world around us seemingly going down the toilet, we might forget we’re part of the same world as that beautiful butterfly inside a flower. If we’d remember to be one with nature more often, we might be happier, as research indicates that at least 120 minutes per week spent in nature can significantly increase our well-being.

If you don’t have time to enjoy Mother Nature today, at least take a look at these creatures from the German subreddit “Naturefreunde.” It’s a community of nature lovers that shares beautiful photographs of critters of all kinds, from birds and insects to squirrels and caterpillars in cocoons.

    A bloody nosed beetle according to Google.This species gets its name from a defensive habit where it exudes a red, foul-tasting fluid from its mouth joints when threatened.
