Although the title of this article at our sibling site the Ark in Space has already given the game away, take a close look at the ‘leaf’ above. Dead and withered, its dark veins still stretch across the parchment thin remains of its once emerald resplendence. Yet a closer look reveals a head, eyes and legs. This isn’t at all what it appears to be – and that is exactly how nature intended. Pop over to Ark in Space and see what is to be found on the inside of the wings!
