A list of intriguing things

One: Forget Harrison Ford. Pan Solo is the real hunk in town. He is six-foot tall and made entirely out of bread. To be accurate, this version—inspired by ‘frozen’ Han in ‘Empire Strikes Back’—is made of two types of dough and a bit of wood. And he’s on display at a bakery just outside San Francisco.

Two: These days, robots come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. And while the Boston Dynamics’ doggo gets all the attention, we’re rooting for this big guy: Amphibious Robotic Turtle aka ART. Ok, so he looks a bit more like a mutant crab, but ART can move both on land and in water thanks to his shape-shifting limbs/flippers.The Nature video below gives you a glimpse of how cute he is.

Three: Whatever humans can do, Mama Nature can do better. Example: create this wondrous Atlas moth which is one of the biggest insects in the world—with a wingspan of 27 centimetres. FYI: it is an Asian native—found in India, along with China and Malaysia. As you can see, it is quite a beauty when its wings are stretched out.

But here’s what is really cool about this blinged-out moth: 

“The moth's Cantonese name translates as snake's head moth, because the tips of its wings look similar to the head of a deadly cobra.When threatened, the moth will drop to the floor and writhe around, slowing flapping its wings to imitate snake head and neck movements and scare away predators.”

Looks pretty awesome, yes? (Natural History Museum)
