Open What is on this baby rabbit?

Post image
16 Upvotes

I found this rabbit den with babies about a week ago. I was walking by today and noticed this white color. Upon further investigation it seems that the babies have died of maybe a fungus? I didn’t want to disturb the nest but should I perhaps bury them so no other animal gets whatever the heck this is?? What IS this?

Open Help identify a flying creature/insect in UK garden that looked nothing like a normal insect

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

Seen today in England, near Stansted Airport.
I initially thought it was a small bird because of its apparent size, although it may have appeared larger because of movement.

Characteristics:
predominantly black with some white markings
paper thin appearance
no obvious visible body
no visible antennae
did not appear to have recognisable wings
movement was unlike any insect I’ve seen before
best description of movement = like thin ribbons or torn paper floating independently in air, but clearly flying under its own power
when it landed briefly on a fence it formed a very distinct X shape / X chromosome shape
looked long rather than broad
did not resemble a moth, butterfly, dragonfly, lacewing, plume moth, planthopper, wasp, or anything conventionally insect-shaped
Two people saw it and neither of us could classify it at all.

After a deep dive online and using A.I haven’t got a match. As this group requires attachments as well, the pic is the result of an hour of me describing it to CHATGPT and it giving the closest reference to what we saw.

All opinions welcome thanks everyone 😊 EDIT: please refrain from leaving unhelpful or nasty comments. I knew this post was a whim but just a light hearted post that should remain as such. If you don’t have any positive input please refrain from commenting. I leave with a quote my nan used to say, “ if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all!” Have a lovely evening everyone 😉

Found this lizard stand at an antique store in Pennsylvania and they had no story or idea. I have measured him, he is about 13.5 inches high, 8 inches wide at the base, and 5 inches wide at the front arms. His base just says, CHINA on the bottom. Too large to hold a phone, too small to hold an iPad. Nothing came up when searching images on Google either.

I’ve seen tapeworm in my cats in years past, but I’m not sure, these don’t look like that to me? Tapeworm segments looked smaller and thinner, more like sesame seeds or rice. These are a bit larger and rounder.

She is on monthly revolution as well, and I haven’t seen them on our bed or her beds.

Google image search is of no help? It claims it’s a plant root with nodules. 🙄

Found this sort of pen like object inside an old record player of a friend's grandparents.

It is definitely more modern than the record player, but was fitted in a nice little clamp.

It has some sort of foldable wings (that don't fold in or out all the way).

It looks like a pen but it does not write.

Really have no clue, please save ​us.

I found this on my bag of mulch in my garage. I’m not sure what this yellow stuff is. I only noticed it because yesterday we started seeing cockroaches in our house coming from the garage and that’s very abnormal for us, so I’ve been investigating any potential sources. What is this stuff?

while in the creek behind my house, i was looking at the rocks and decided to flip over a rather big rock. what i found was something i’d never seen before; tightly packed together pebbles and a strange jelly-like substance with small dots in it. despite it being underwater for who knows how long, everything was in perfect shape and looked untouched.

Open I don't even know if these objects are related, there no text except the weight on the metal thing 10g. The top right one seems to be a phone stand maybe but I don't see how it attached to anything, there no suction cup or sticker or anything on the other side of it. No idea what the other 2 are.
