Evelien Lohbeck's Notebook - Neatorama

.

We've covered a lot of neat stuff on Neatorama, but this one belongs in its own category of uber-spiffiness. Behold Noteboek (English title: Notebook), a fantastic animated clip of Dutch artist Evelien Lohbeck where she blurs the line between what is real and what is not. It has won several awards, and it's easy to see why.

Not to be missed: Hit play or go to Link [Vimeo] | See the rest of her video clips on Vimeo or visit her website

Note: This was originally submitted the the UQ by Victoria McJones, but written as a regular post because the UQ couldn't embed Vimeo codes. Excellent find, Victoria!

When I read this, I almost expected to see a stage called "facehugger" and another called "chestburster".

I remember hearing about this other specie that has a crazy reproduction cycle too. Something to do with rabbits, bugs, grass, rabbit's feces, etc. I can't remember the name of the specie for the life of me :-(.

That is indeed very bizarre!

@ hobbes3:
Many parasites have crazy reproductive cycles like this. I recently read "Parasite Rex" by Carl Zimmer where he describes many strange parasitic species and their big and often underestimated influence on many ecosystems - quite an interesting book!

Carl Zimmer is the "go-to" guy on parasites. He helped me with the Zombie Animals series at mental floss. Check out his blog The Loom at Discover Magazine.

The world is just awesome. I love reading fascinating stuff like this.

One again highlighting Nature's infinite capacity for ick.

I've often thought that if parasites were ordering the tree of life, they would know that OBVIOUSLY the species with the most stages was the most superior.
