A dazzling, multicolored cuticle (below)

The shiny chitinous armor of this pseudoscorpion, known unsurprisingly as scissorhands, hides a tiny insectivore. This animal appears frightening, but unlike true scorpions, its stinger is not poisonous.

To the naked eye, this green immigrant leaf weevil appears to have a green cuticle. A closer look reveals that dense, chitinous scales give it color.

What is this, you ask? Why, of course, it's the nervous system of a juvenile sea star (Patiria miniata) about 1 cm wide. Labeled with an antibody against acetylated tubulin after optical clearing, and captured using a color-coded Z-projection.

No, but seriously folks, check out the link above for more amazing miniature beauty.
