Okay, hold on a second, before you leave screaming "BUGS!" at us, stop for one moment and look at this one. We know, we know, bugs are kinda eww-y sometimes, but not this one. This one is as beautiful as a painting, specifically, a Picasso painting. 

Meet the Picasso bug, otherwise known as Sphaerocoris annulus. It's a bug that's native to tropical and subtropical Africa, and it is one of the most beautiful bugs we've ever seen. Looking at this little guy brings us to the days of our childhood, when we were in kindergarten, playing around with the prettiest bugs around, no fear to be found in our tiny little palms. And maybe, after seeing this cool creature's pictures, you will feel the same way. 

There are so many amazing animals out there that we don't know about. Rare and special creatures that, as animal lovers, we wish we knew more about. One of them is the Numbat. Numbats are insectivorous marsupials, they're adorable, they're fluffy, they looks almost mythical, and there are only about 1000 of them left in the world. 

They're an endangered animal in need of help, and we think one of the best ways to help them is to spread awareness about them and show people pictures of how incredibly adorable they are. Because no one can withstand their cuteness. Another incredible way to help is to read up about them and consider donating at Project Numbat. But for now, let's take a look at how amazing they are. 

You're starting to feel it too, right? The tiredness of the week passing getting to you. There's not that much left until you reach the finish line, and yet it feels so very far. Worry not, friends, we've come to the rescue with a collection of pictures worth more than 1000 words to give you the exact inspiration and motivation that you need to get you through these final days of the week.

Every single week, we bring you a collection of pictures such as these - funny pictures, cute ones, pictures that show off just how amazing nature and animals are. We hope that these pictures inspire you as much as they inspire us, and we wish all of you a calm yet productive finish to the week.

You know how you're in love with dogs? And by extent, any dog-looking this is also something that you want to pet? Yeah, we love wolves too, but... how big and dangerous are wolves actually? Because as far as we see, wolves are super affectionate, and they're the biggest goofballs, and yes, to us, they are basically dogs. 

Well, tumblr is about to give you a reality check by showing you just how big wolves are... But if you're anything like us, them being totally dangerous, enormous, and not always dog-like in behavior is... not going to stop you even slightly from wanting to cuddle them.

Cats are kind of jerks, did you know that? They're also liquid, that you definitely knew. Now, put these two traits together, and you have yourself the one animal that consistently gets itself into places it shouldn't be in. No matter where it is, how hard it was to get in there, if you own a cat or ever have, you know that finding your cat in some insanely random place is an inevitability. And @catshouldnt on twitter definitely knows that too.

You will first, of course, be scared our of your mind, thinking that your feline ran away, and then, when you find it and the feeling of relief that washed over you passes, you will find yourself laughing without pause. Smh, little mischief makers. 

Turtles and tortoises are some of the coolest animals on the planet in our opinion. They live for so long, they're so resilient despite being so slow, they're chill and - don't forget - they're so adorable. They look like they're little prehistoric dinosaurs left on the earth from some time in the past, strolling around, watching the world evolve all around them. 

All turtles have that feeling to them, but baby snapping turtles really encapsulate that dinosaur image. On top of that, they might be some of the most adorable turtles we've ever seen. And considering how cute we think all turtles are, that's a real achievement lol.

February is coming to an end, and it's time to celebrate one of our favorite days ever - international polar bear day. Why do we love it so much? Well, because we love polar bears, of course. They are so cute, so fluffy, they are a vulnerable animal species whose population is decreasing, and polar bear day is the best day to bring some awareness to the struggles facing this animal. As well as look at super adorable pics of them. 

If any of you love polar bears as much as we do and want to help with the conservation effort of these huge teddy bears, consider going to Polar Bears International and learning about them as well as donating to help keep them safe and happy. Have a beary happy polar bear day, everyone! 

Whoever said cats can't love has never seen a cat sit on a pizza box. It is so very clear that pizza is their ultimate love. it's warm, it smells delicious, and it's a box - it's the combination of all of our cats dreams. Suddenly, they'll be giving you puppy eyes, trying to convince you to give them a slice of the deliciousness, or they'll be trying to scratch your eyes out because of your futile attempts to get them off their delicious heater. 

I mean, we can't even question their love for it, considering how much we love pizza too, so... get off, you chaotic little hooligan, this pizza is mine. And thank you to r/CatsOnPizza for providing this delicious and mildly strange cat material. 

It is a known fact that cats are indeed liquid. Their bodies have the ability to contort in such ways that would be shocking to inexperienced cat people. But we - cat owners - we know that the level of liquidity that cats have is about 99%, and these pictures are the newest collection of proof. 

If I fits, I sits - if you are considering getting a cat, learn this statement, for it will lead you through many moments. If you don't see your cat all of a sudden, don't fret right away. Check all the boxes, all the nooks and crannies in the house, don't put it past your liquid furball to hide inside of some bowl somewhere. You will find them in the strangest place. If there's the smallest chance of them fitting into something, they will try to sit in it, and odds are they will succeed. 

Another week is passing, the tiredness is coming, and we need something to keep our inspiration going and our imagination running. Thankfully, you've come to the right place. Every single week, we bring you a collection of pictures the purpose of which is to do just that - to make you think outside the box, to inspire you and move your imagination in directions you have never even thought of. 

They're pictures that are cute, funny, and just absolutely amazing - showcasing the beauty of animals in every shape and form and giving us exactly the kind of boost that we need to get through the rest of the week productively. So, enjoy this collection of pictures worth more than 1000 words, and we wish you a good rest of the week, everyone!

You know, for an animal that is oh so scary and dangerous when its grown, porcupines are insanely cute when they're babies. When their huge quills have yet to grow, and they're still tiny little huggable fuzzballs, they are so cute and underrated it's basically criminal. So, it's time to give some love to yet another extremely underrated baby animal, and this time, it's the not-yet-spikiest fluffball. 

Let's be real though, us, animal lovers, have a special place in our hearts for the adorableness of dangerous animals-especially their ferocious baby versions. And this one is no different. It is definitely an animal that is much more awwdorable than you ever gave it credit for. 

Get ready for incoming war flashbacks, all you cat owners in the crowd, because we have all had that moment of suddenly realizing that we haven't seen our cat in a while, going to look for it, then not finding it and losing our heckin' minds. 

Then, it's one of two things: either the cat has been sleeping in the closet this whole time and is perfectly innocent, or - the more likely option - that hooligan has been hiding in his new hiding spot for the past half and hour, absolutely enjoying my stress while I'm shaking his bag of treats, looking for him.

Cats are jerks. That's a known face. We still love them though. 

you've made it to yet another week, everyone, and for that, you deserve congratulations. It's a rough time right now, and we're all looking for ways to make each week a little easier than the last one. That's what you come to this segment for: your weekly dose of inspiration in the form of pictures worth more than 1000 words. 

It's impossible to capture these pictures easily, and that's the whole point. These funny, cute, amazing pictures of animals make us this, they get our imagination running, and that kind of inspiration is exactly what we need to get through the rest of the week in a productive way. 

We hope you have a week full of love, guys! And see you here next week!

Have you ever looked at your cat and wondered: "what the heck are you doing?" Yeah, same. We believe all cat owners have these moments. Cats are just like that sometimes, they just do... cat things. Sleeping in weird ways, stealing your food, playing with your hair clip for half an hour while totally ignoring the 20$ toy you bought them.

Cats are chaotic good in other words. They're strange, but they have good intentions (most of the time), and we love them all the more for it. So, enjoy our latest favorites from r/WhatsWrongWithYourCat, and let yourself fall in love with these feline hooligans a tiny bit more today. 

Tortoises are cool. That's an inarguable fact. Tiny tortoises, big tortoises, all tortoises are cool as heck. They can live up to 150 years old, and there's even one who has lived up to 255 years. And tortoises basically carry a shield on their backs all day long and are therefore basically invincible. If that's not cool, we don't know what is. 

But have you ever seen a white leopard tortoise? Now, in the hierarchy of tortoise coolness, they possibly take the first spot. Only possibly though, because, as stated previously, all tortoises are the coolest tortoises.

Oh goodness, another Sunday, another week to prepare for, and we. are. tired. And we're not the only ones. 

Twitter user, @andlikelaura, despite seemingly being very tired, had enough energy to bring together a collection of pictures of adorable baby animals yawning. Energy well-spent, we think, considering how cute they are. Cute and tired and adorab- and okay, we're yawning, we caught the yawns from them. Did you?

We wish you a positive and productive week, friends. Try not to yawn in your boss's or teacher's face on Sunday, but if you can't keep it in, we hope you look half as cute as these animals when you do it.
