Coincidence Photography

July 25th 2008 03:16
Coincidence Photography gives being in the right place at the right time new meaning!
These pictures are not photoshopped, instead relying on clever angels, waiting for just the right moment, or perhaps a bit of luck.
Thanks to million place for showing us these.

Close Up Of A Bee Sting

July 18th 2008 02:44
The main component of bee venom responsible for pain is the toxin melittin; histamine and other biogenic amines.

The sting consists of three parts - a stylus and two barbed slides (or lancets), one on either side of the stylus. The bee does not push the sting in but it is drawn in by the barbed slides. the slides move alternately up and down the stylus so when the bard of one slide has caught and retracts it pulls the stylus and the other barbed slide into the wound. When the other barb has caught it also retracts up the stylus pulling the sting further in. This process is repeated until the sting is fully in and even continues after the sting and its mechanism is detached from the bees abdomen.
