Image Odyssey: Bat Embryos
Yesterday I received an email bursting with bat embryos (which sounds like cyberbullying, but is actually what people do when they love me). The message prompted me to seek out some of the most beautiful specimens on the Web.
While ostensibly a rather morbid search entry, these images (particularly the diaphonized variety) allow us to see the awe inspiring artistry of nature. Even the tiny creatures so often reviled by humans are majestic in their own way.
And adorable. They’re also adorable.
Thanks for the inspiration, CP!

They do look like cute little monsters. I can’t believe they have their wings wrapped around their head! So strange, but I guess it makes a certain sense.
