preeeeeeeetttty!!!!
Flowers are colorful in order to attract pollinators as I understand it. What is the rationale for these creatures' appearance?
THis is the highlight of my day.
I like the name, although I don't know what's so Mexican-colored about it. Whatever these things are that you bring around for us on the weekends, I think they're great. Keep up the good work.

It's generally considered to be a warning that they're poisonous, stinging, foul-tasting, or what have you...it's known as aposematic coloration.
Hey Phila,Thanks a lot.The picture is simply awesome!

Adaptationism alert!
I showed my niece the last one, she couldn't believe that it was real.
Olvlzl,
See above (i.e., me at 12:03).
It was a joke, Phila. Though not 100%. I'm sure some of it is adaptation, though knowing what the rest of life is like, I think the "spandrels" idea is part of it too. And some of it might be mechanisms yet unknown. I'm not a biologist but I've seen enough of complicated systems to suspect anything that minimizes the complexity, the yet unknown and the entirely unexpected. Or maybe I just spent too much time on the Scienceblogs recently.

No argument from me...I'm nobody's idea of an adaptationist.
