When you live in the dark there is no need to look good.

I wanted to see an image of it without those dumb hands in the way.

Thanks to Thwitehead, those images are awesome. Don't think I would want that think biting me!

Notice how bats are ugly and birds are pretty, caterpillars look nice but worms are ugly, butterflies are prettier than moths, tropical reef fish are nicer looking than deep sea fish. Flowers grow in the sun and mushrooms in the dark. Its all about light levels!
