Thinking of the Best Photos Of The Week topic, I’m thinking of making a weekly poll of weirdos… what do you think?

I stopped participating in the Best Photos of the Week thread because it became a weekly poll. Just like I don’t participate in the Migration Madness threads when they come up. But clearly some people enjoy it because threads like those keep going.

Likewise, I dont go in that thread, since I dont enjoy competition. I like threads where we just share, and enjoy others posts.

Here is an unusual Laughing Gull. I was told it is a common mutation but it is the only one I have seen like this so at the very least unusual/weird to me.

Hybrid fish! Warpaint Shiner x Undescribed Clinostomos Sp. (Smoky Dace). This guy looks even weirder once you see what the two pure parents look like!

Those moths that stick their butt up in the air like that are definitely weirdos. Here are some that I found:

Haha, definitely, they are so weird no one has helped me identify one yet, though it may be my challenged photography skills that vouch for that :)

This one looks like some kind of butterfly, or moth?

It looks like a planthopper, possibly genus Genus Aphaena.
