Everyday critters that look like monsters when viewed under a microscope [1]

[]

Date: 2024-06-14

These insects and animals aren't too intimidating as we usually see and imagine them, but look terrifying under a microscope.

The spider at 2:49 is my favorite creature in the collection. It looks totally alien, and I'm a little bit sad that I can't see spiders like this with my naked eye.

The tapeworm at the end of the video, though, is something I am thrilled I never have to see in real life. If someone can re-create a mask of this zoomed-in tapeworm, it would be an amazing halloween costume.
