Insect Modern Art - Amazing Bug Paintings...

Steven Kutcher, of 63 years, is an artist from Los Angeles that paints using insects. spiders, flies, bees, butterflies, crickets and cockroaches are some of the insects that this artist uses to elaborate his works, although in fact the paintings are done by the insects and not by him.





Insects possess segmented bodies supported by an exoskeleton, a hard outer covering made mostly of chitin. The segments of the body are organized into three regions, or tagmata; a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. The head supports a pair of sensory antennae, a pair of compound eyes, one to three simple eyes (“ocelli”) and three sets of variously modified appendages that form the mouthparts.





The thorax has six legs (one pair each for the prothorax, mesothorax and the metathorax segments making up the thorax) and two or four wings (if present in the species). The abdomen (made up of eleven segments some of which may be reduced or fused) has most of the digestive, respiratory, excretory and reproductive internal structures.

Circular Pod-Shaped House Heated by Compos

If you’ve ever experienced composting in action, you may know that things can get pretty hot when microbes meet organic material. So what if there was a way to capture all that heat and use it to warm up a cozy little space? Tokyo based architects Bakoko have come up with a circular pod-shaped teahouse that does just that by harnessing temperatures in excess of 120°F that are generated by compost. The designers are taking a simple, biological process and turning it into a viable (and free) way to heat small public spaces like the traditional garden teahouses found all throughout Japan.

Top 5 Baseball Players Ever

Choosing the top 5 baseball players ever is no easy task. The game is said to have started in the 1700's, and many great players have come and gone. Baseball has not changed that much, you still have to hit a ball with a stick, but it has had its share of controversies. However, we're here to talk about the best, and in no particular order her they are.


1. Babe Ruth was better known as the " Sultan of Swat". He was baseball's first great slugger and celebrated athlete of his time. While everyone remembers Ruth as a slugger, he started his career as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. When the Babe was sold to the New York Yankees he became a legend by leading the Yanks to seven AL pennants and four World Series crowns. The slugger hit 60 long bombs in 1927 and hit 714 homers during his career.



2. Ted William is considered by some to be the greatest hitter in the modern era. It's hard to argue with his two-time winning of the Triple Crown and AL MVP. Also, he batted.406 in 1941 and had a lifetime batting average of.344. The left fielder was a 17-time All-Star, won six batting championships and hit 521 career home runs.



3. Lou Gehrig was a first baseman and known as "The Iron Horse". He played 2,130 consecutive games, a streak that stretched from 1925 to 1939. He helped the New York Yankees win six titles in his 13 year career. He also had 23 career grand slams and won the Triple Crown in 1934.

4. Mickey Mantle is probably the greatest switch hitter in history playing center field for the Yankees. "The Mick" spent his 18-year career helping them win 12 AL pennants and 7 World Series. He holds the record for most home runs in the Series with 18, hit 531 home runs in his career and won the Triple Crown in 1956.



5. Willie Mays was a a center fielder and the best all-around player in the game's history. Mays was selected to the All-Star Game 24 times, won 12 Gold Gloves and was a two-time NL MVP. He hit 660 homers and became the first player to collect 3,000 hits and 500 homers.
