🌿 The giant staghorn fern, Platycerium grande, is an epiphytic marvel! It anchors itself to trees without drawing nutrients from them!
🌿 Native to Australia, this fern thrives in bright, indirect light and moderate humidity.

🦋 How amazing is this Papilio lowii!
The left side is female, while the right side is male. This rare genetic anomaly occurs when a developmental error causes one side of a female caterpillar to develop as male.
This butterfly is a fascinating example of bilateral gynandromorphism.
