    The larva of the shrimp zoeas which rides on jellyfish and travels freely is called a jellyfish-rider. They are beautifully delicate like glass and have an attractive design. Occasionally a deep-sea organism may be mixed with them. Finding it seems to be like treasure hunting

    They look like creatures from another planet, but these weird specimens are all marine life captured by talented underwater photographer Kei Nomiyama.

    In his photo series Blackwater, the 36-year-old presents the amazing creatures discovered in the sea at night.

    His work includes the quirky sight of a 'jellyfish rider', a lobster larvae hitching a ride on a hapless jellyfish, and the Phronima Sedentaria, a species of amphipod crustacean, that Kei says reminds him of the sci-fi film 'Aliens'.

    Kei explains: "I live in Matsuyama city at Shikoku island, smallest of the four main islands in Japan. I mainly take these photos at Omi-island in Yamaguchi-prefecture. The Omi-island is located in the south of the main island of Japan and facing the Sea of Japan.

    Amazing close-up pictures show deadly beauty of mantises, Costa Brava, Spain - 07 Sep 2010
    With bulbous eyes and their strange stick-like bodies, these mantises look like creatures from another planet. Perched on the tiny stem of a plant, one insect enjoys a lunch of tiny yellow aphids. Another picture shows a mantis about to pounce on an unwitting butterfly and one incredible shot even shows the creatures in larvae form, not much bigger than a thorn. These incredible close-ups were snapped by wildlife enthusiast Jimmy Hoffman. The 50-year-old scours the vegetation around his home in the Costa Brava, Spain, looking for the insects. He said: "I've been interested in nature since I was a child and I've always had an eye for wildlife, especially insects. "Praying mantids are my favourite because of their special predatory behaviour, shapes and colours".

Some 500 households specialized in silkworm breeding in Matou Town cultivate and raise the silkworms for commercial benefit in spring, summer and autumn seasonal recycling production, and now extend their silkworm garden to as expansive as 2,000 mu with over 1,000 large shelters. So far, each household becomes relatively better-off by earning more than 30,000 RMB yuan through the silkworms breeding. (Xinhua/Dong Naide) (px)
