Monsters On Earth

Whether you were freaked out by a monster under your bed or in your closet as a kid, we have all experienced that existential fear of unknown creatures. While most people wouldn’t classify insects as monsters, some of them look pretty monstrous. Take centipedes, for example. They have a pretty creepy appearance when you look at them closely, especially when you see a mother centipede protecting her young. This photo shows an adult female centipede cradling her offspring to protect them from danger, and it’s something you’d expect to see in a horror movie about aliens or monsters. Yet, this is a perfectly natural phenomenon on Earth.
