This stuff always blows my mind. I mean I have a certain grasp on how evolution works, but damn, how the hell does a caterpillar know what a snake behaves like.

I thought the point was she can't get any rest. Maybe I'm over thinking it. I have a habit of doing that at times. Got stuck in an unlocked room in Wind Waker once lol
Damn, I want to go there and just sit down for a while.
You'd get rice in yer butt.
Really fancy eating some gyoza right about now.

Well, it doesn't know. But in mimicry the evolutionary selection pressure generally comes from looking as close to the "model" as possible, because their predators can evolve as well and may look through the disguise. So the individuals that evolved to additionally move in these situations had an advantage in survival.
here's a more twisted example:
Leucochloridium paradoxum are parasites that use snails as intermediate hosts to get to into birds.
They make the snail's eyes look like moving caterpillars so that the birds will eat them...
Its real life Minecraft!

The scale is impressive, but I've seen much better textures.

Oh yeah, Mantis Shrimp are cool as hell. My brother used to have a bunch of salt water tanks he'd fill with liverock and a couple times one of those bastards was hiding inside. They're impossible to get rid of, they even dig multiple exits from their hiding spots.
Seriously nasty stuff, and yeah... they can break aquarium glass like it's nothing too.

Oh damn, that is actually pretty cool. Kinda creepy for some reason, but cool.
That...is just plain creepy. Majestic, power, beautiful, and creepy.
This isn't as cool as other pics in this thread, but my girlfriend found a burning windmill.
No, thats actually pretty damn cool. What a crazy thing to see on the side of the road. We have thousands of them around here, I wonder what the failure rate is for that kind of catastrophic malfunction.

I saw one of these today at a coin show
It's a limited edition 100 Franc coin from the country of Togo.
"The plumage is reproduced in this coin series by a prism technique. The brilliant colors flash and change as the coin is moved in the light. The series is composed by three coins: Blue, Green and Yellow sunbird."
There's also a lion and elephant coin as well. All I could think while looking at it was: "oooh, shiny"

That thing would kill someone simply by "playing"
