No one doubts that nature is beautiful and incredible, but the latter adjective can also refer to how terrifying Mother Nature is sometimes.

We usually observe colored and scented flowers, but have you ever stopped to think, how many are dead? When they are so beautiful, this idea does not even cross our minds; however, others are too terrifying in appearance but turn out harmless.

Nature is a bit weird and never ceases to amaze us. Here are a series of spooky images of things that nature does:
