Inspecting Nature :: Wolf Spider
Take a look at this female wolf spider carrying her babies on her back to protect them from an enemy. If the mother feels threatened in any way she will put out a signal that tells the baby spiders to jump off and run away.
Wolf Spiders are entirely harmless and only grow between 0.04 to 1.18 inches in size and can be found pretty much everywhere in the world:

Friends Around the World :: Nicaragua
Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America and is bordered by Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. The first attempt to conquer what is now known as Nicaragua was by the Spaniard Gil González Dávila, 
whose Central American exploits began with his arrival in Panama in January 1520.

Nicaragua became a part of the Mexican Empire and then gained its independence as a part of the United Provinces of Central America in 1821 and as an independent republic in its own right in 1838. The strip of the Caribbean coast known as the Mosquito Coast was claimed by the United Kingdom and its predecessors as a protectorate from 1655 to 1850; 
In 1961 Carlos Fonseca and two others founded the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN). Upon assuming office in 1981, U.S. President Ronald Reagan condemned the FSLN for joining with Cuba in supporting Marxist revolutionary movements in other Latin American countries such as El Salvador.
Daniel Ortega is the current (83rd) President of Nicaragua, but he previously served as the 79th President, between 10 January 1985 and 25 April 1990. For much of his life, he has been a leader in the FSLN.

Inspecting Nature :: Bumblebees
A close encounter with two bumblebees gettin' their pollen on with one dang lucky sunflower. Insects "involuntarily" transport pollen from one flower to another and play a substantial role in many plants' reproductive cycle.

Submarine volcano erupts in Japan!
The Japanese Coastguard took pictures and video of an erupting underwater submarine volcano yesterday near Iwo Jimo.

Although submarine volcano eruptions are not entirely uncommon and are witnessed to occur every year or so, it doesn't make these videos and pictures any less staggering.
