In honor of Valentine’s Day tomorrow, we’d like to shout out a couple that does everything together: lovebugs!

Like the best things, lovebugs often come in pairs - literally, because they can spend up to a couple of days attached to each other.

Some may call it clingy, but for lovebugs, it’s all part of the mating process. Talk about commitment.

If you think your love is loud, then you’ve never seen a lacewing fly in action.

Before mating, lacewing flies vibrate their bodies and sing to each other - a “courtship duet” that sets a romantic scene like no other.

It’s a musical collab fit for a Grammy. SZA and Kendrick might have cinched this last one, but lacewing flies put up some real competition!

Oh yeah… New digs!

One snail's trash is another Hermit crab's treasure.

Hermit crabs are obsessed with finding discarded snail shells, depending on them for housing and protection. Repurposing at its finest!

Our hermit crab friend here looks ready to make this shell house a shell home.

Choose Your Player: Camouflage Style!

Imagine this: You wake up transformed, no longer human.

Are you a decorator crab, dressed in sponges and corals?
A pygmy seahorse, vanishing into sea fans?
An Australian walking stick, disguised as eucalyptus leaves?
Or a glasswing butterfly, nearly invisible in flight?

Whichever way you sway, we'd like to know. In honor of our latest episode, pick your master of disguise.

Choose wisely … your survival depends on it.

Repurposed clothing might be a trend in human fashion, but decorator crabs have mastered it for possibly millions of years. 🦀🪸

When decorator crabs molt, some carefully move their living camouflage from their old shell, onto their new one.

That’s commitment.

Hold up — is there a new Deep Look video on the horizon? 🌅

That’s right. We’ve got something exciting for you, and it’ll have your head raised just like our friend, the pygmy seahorse.

We almost missed him—because he’s that good at blending into sea fans and sponges. 🌱🪸
