There are many strange creatures, both in shape, such as( the Red-lipped Batfish and Okapi), as well as different creatures in their characteristics.rrrrr



Euspinolia Militaris:hh

Euspinolia Militaris is part of the Mutillidae family, part of the Hymenoptera order that comprises, for example, wasps, bees, and ants (the first described in Chile in 1938).ggg

 Classification:gggg

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Arthropod 

Class: Insecta

Order: Hymenoptera  

Suborder: Apocrita 

Superfamily: Vespoide

Family: Mutillidae

 Genus: Euspinolia


This type of ant resembles a panda, but it is not just a color, it is very important and a warning to predators.gggg


The sting of this type of ants is extremely painful and is called the velvet ant, and it is also called a cow killer (because it can kill a cow through 6 to 10 bites). This toxin has cytotoxic activity and does not pose a danger to the person if he is not allergic to toxins.ff


Male panda ants don't look like their wingless female counterparts. This condition is known as sexual dimorphism, where males of this species are several times bigger than females and have wings. This also had an incredibly thick exoskeleton that protects it from predators, helps it to enter the nests to deposit its eggs, and help it maintain its moisture in the harsh world in which it lives.ffffffff


As adults, these insects feed on pollen and nectar exclusively. Instead, they feed on other larvae at the larval stage. The female lays eggs alongside those of other Hymenoptera, to be exact.fffffff


There are also several other fascinating details about this insect that concern scientists. During the day, the female panda ant is very busy, while the male is basically a nocturnal animal. Additionally, this species' males and females have a structure called a stridulitrum on the back portion of their bodies which they use to make a chirping sound when they become alarmed.ff

 

Glaucus atlanticus:ffffff

Glaucus atlanticus, or the blue dragon, is one of the most fascinating looking creatures in the ocean. And, one of the deadliest.fff


Miniature blue dragons have been washing up at Australia 's shores recently. With their odd, unique beauty, the dragons drew in beachgoers, as they always do. But no matter how cute or tiny these animals are, you should be back far away if you ever see one.ffff


These dragons, also known as blue angels and sea swallows, are scientifically referred to as Glaucus atlanticus and are merely sea slugs with a length of around one inch. But they make up for what they lack in scale, in ferocity, and elegance.fffffffff


Glaucus atlanticus isn't the people who are used to seeing bottom-feeding sea slug. They use a gas sac in their stomachs to float upside-down in warm ocean currents, snagging other small venomous jellyfish with their tiny blue feet.fffff


When the slug comes across a helpless jellyfish swimming unintentionally to its demise, it snatches it by its tail and cuts off pieces with heavy jaws and rows of needle-sharp teeth from its gelatinous mass. And if there are no venomous jellies to eat around, then blue dragons can transform into cannibalism.fff

On the beach, Glaucus atlanticus may be just as dangerous. They have the ability to store the venom in their bodies after they have fed on venomous jellyfish and unleash a sting more potent than the jellyfish they consumed. Often unprepared beachgoers will find themselves on the unpleasant end of the sting...........Nature is full of wonders.aaa
