Bronze-winged Jacana (Metopidius indicus) is a wader, found across South and Southeast Asia. Like other jacanas it forages on lilies and other floating aquatic vegetation. They are solitary, male jacanas care for their young by themselves, while females mate with multiple partners. Calls are a wheezy piping sound. Males maintain territories, with one male in the harem chosen to incubate the eggs and take care of the young. When threatened, young chicks may be carried to safety by the male under his wings.

Vietnamese mossy frog, Tonkin bug-eyed frog, moss bug-eyed frog (Theloderma corticale) is a species of frog endemic to northern Vietnam, south–central Laos, and southern China. Its mottled green and brown skin, bumpy texture, and even the patterns on its eyes help it blend seamlessly with moss and rocks, their calls can travel a significant distance, they can also "throw" their voice, making it sound like it's coming from a location far from their actual position. When threatened, it will curl into a ball and play dead, appearing inedible to predators.

Here's an old light switch that's in the basement of a house across the street from us. It works like any light switch. Click it one way and it’s dark. Click it the other way and the light's on.

Notice anything odd about it?

(Does anyone know why it would be this way? It's cast metal so it's seems like an unlikely mistake.)

A photo of an old metal cast light switch, in an old basement. Weirdly, *both* switch settings are labelled “ON”.
