| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

So I was just on the receiving end of a ground beetle's (Galerita janus) horrible caustic spray. I had no idea it could do that, I didn't even know what kind of beetle it was. Good thing he got the corner of my eye instead of right in it, I'd be blind in one eye otherwise. This shit seriously hurts, like really bad even after you wash it off. It left tiny burn marks on the skin around my eye, and it's still tingling/occasionally pulsing with pain. I feel bad for Charles Darwin, who once got this stuff sprayed down his throat. |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

That sounds painful. Here in Arizona we have Pinacate beetles (Eleodes), which also spray a noxious chemical. I haven't gotten any in my eyes fortunately, but it smells strongly of turpentine. |

Just when you think it's safe to enjoy nature, some little organism with an attitude problem decides it's gonna use that big, silly-looking pink thing for target practice.

Actually, Charles Darwin had a bombardier beetle spray him in the mouth. |

I froze him to death and added him to my bug collection. Normally I try to find dead bugs, merely catching the living ones to see what I should be looking for. However, being a human, I am a god in comparison to an insect. And that one brought on my wrath.
That's nothing. We have these beetles in Kansas called blister beetles (they're probably in Arizona too), and if you touch them they play dead and release awful juices from their joints that, as you may have guessed, cause ungodly painful blistering on human skin. You better pray for divine intervention if you smash one of those things, you'll be so covered in blisters you'll be 73% pus instead of water. I knew that. That must have sucked.

It was an escapee from a prison demanding an escape ride. Unfortunatley for Parasky, he couldn't understand beetle, only cicada. thus he was sprayed with acid and the beetle stole his wallet.
Zank you, mein little schweinhund. |

It's a children's cartoon character. They don't have anything 'down there'. Just a flab of skin. Nevermind the fact that it is a horse, and has the reproductive organs in the anus. And you call yourselves armchair biologists... *spits* |
