Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Sorry but that last one is just so fucking goofy looking. If that thing came to attack me I would just die of laughter and it would then be able to eat me.

Why would it attack you? It was the size of a budgie. Really doubt a budgie would be able to eat you no matter how hard it would try.

I mean, really depends on the time period. Bugs are a surprisingly bad frame of size reference depending on the time period. Tha little insect might actually be human sized ^^'

Who knows. Animals can behave strangely sometimes. I also missed the bug so I had no idea how big it would be.

Sounds like a successful hunting tactic to me
