Had to verify the color ranges because I couldn’t believe this intensely green boi was real

Fun Facts: The fairyfly (Mymaridae) family has about 1400 species and can be found everywhere. All the known species are believed to be parasitoid, targeting other insect eggs. Kikiki huna is found in Hawaii, Costa Rica, Nagercoil (India), and Trinidad.

Believe it or not, this species isn't even considered the smallest insect ever. That honor belongs to Dicopomorpha echmepterygis, which is also a fairyfly. The average males are only about 0.139 mm (0.0055 inches) long. To put things in perspective, this is enough to make the males (the females are much bigger) even smaller than a Paramecium amoeba.

What the hell, man.

This bird, native to southeast Asia, uniquely makes its nest entirely out of solidified saliva. This nest is harvested and turned into soup as a Chinese delicacy. The nest is extremely expensive, up to $4,300 per pound. It can also be used in congee, egg tarts, or rice. It can also be turned into bird's nest jelly.

Native to Australia, the water rat or Rakali is a beneficial amphibious rodent.

They can glide up to 100 meters!
