A diaphonized creature is a transparent creature whose skeletal structure is visible. Their cartilage & bones are highlighted by rich reds, purples, and blues.
It was first developed in 1977 by the scientists G. Dingerkus and L.D. Uhler. First the animals are rendered transparent by bathing in a soup of trypsin, a digestive enzyme that slowly breaks down their flesh. They are then soaked in several batches of bone, muscle, or cartilage dyes, to get the appropriate stains. (Source)
Probably the creepiest and coolest caterpillar you will ever see.
It’s called Phyllodes Imperialis and is nicknamed the Halloween caterpillar.
The last picture is what it looks like as a moth.
When other creatures bother it, it draws itself up and stretches its skin until it looks like a large animal with two blue-black eyes and several rows of teeth between them (1st picture)
A husband and wife photography team are now so friendly with a family of wild beavers they let them take their portrait. Bettina and Christian Kutschenreiter have spent 10 years making regular visits to the beavers after they interrupted them taking pictures of kingfishers near the city of Rosenheim near Munich, Germany. And now they are able to get up close and personal as the animals recognise their voices when they come to visit.
