This is what a king looks like in his final moments of life. The scene was captured by photographer Larry Pannell, who released this striking photo in 2018. 'We found him lying in the grass, exhausted and unable to move. We were no more than a meter away from him when he died in the shade of a tree. Dropping my camera, we looked at each other, closing our eyes for what seemed like a long time. I just wanted you to know that he wouldn't die alone, because he was struggling to breathe, he only had chest pains from time to time. Then one last twitch, his last breath was gone. The king was dead. Life is too short. Power is fleeting. Physical beauty lasts for a little while, I've seen it in lions. I've seen it in the elderly. All those who live long enough will become weak and very vulnerable at some point. Let's be humble. Help the sick, the weak, the vulnerable, and most of all remember that one day we will exit the stage.

How true is this 🤦‍♀️

In Russia, before refrigeration existed, fresh milk was preserved by placing live brown frogs inside buckets. Years later, scientist Albert Lebedev discovered that the skin of these frogs released antimicrobial compounds that helped keep milk free of bacteria.

I didn't know anything about this "Bagworm Caterpillar" it's still a fantastic creature. It collects and saws little sticks to construct elaborate spiral log cabins to live in. These small creatures begin as moths. Once they hatch they immediately begin constructing elaborate shields for themselves for protection, often times looking like log cabins. They build their homes out of silk, sand, soil, and plant materials. If you look very closely, you can see the strands that it used to tie the structure together. Bagworm moths make their homes in many types of trees, especially cedar trees. Larvae crawl to nearby plants and their bags can be seen hanging on trees that they feed on. Some may spin a silk thread that catches the wind and carries them off to new trees.
