Snake-Headed Caterpillar and Bat-Eating Spider: Nature is Scary as Hell

While we are struggling to live in harmony, nature tirelessly reminds us of its cruelty and unpredictability. People have become so adapted to everything that happens that sometimes they don’t notice the horrors of the world around them, and their influence is much more destructive for the planet as a whole.

Nevertheless, the dark side of Mother Nature (with her terrible insects and frightening phenomena) chills the soul.

You may find this a bit disturbing: After all, people are used to seeing only the beauty of our planet, but there is also another side to everything. However, not everyone wants to notice it.
