A man from Washington named Robert Palmer (70) was giving water to his horse when he found a bug sitting on the trough and as he was going to crush it, he saw something unusual. Robert noticed that the caterpillar had an image of a human face on its back. He clicked it and sent to many wildlife experts for finding out the type of caterpillar. However, no reply has been received from any of them and even the caterpillar has died now.
Some are saying that the image is photoshopped but Robert completely denies the allegation. There is also a confusion regarding the image as some feel that it is Robin Williams while some say it is Edgar Allen Poe.

For many decades, a formation of larch trees which was growing in shape of Swastika in Brandenburg, Germany, was not noticed by anyone. It was first noticed by an intern of a landscaping company in 1992 when he was taking aerial photographs.
Nazi symbols were found in the forests of Germany and beyond too. As per Der Spiegel, this is a horticultural emblem of hate. This design which measured 200-feet by 200-feet was surrounded by pine trees and it was visible only during the fall as the larches turn yellow and orange at that time. Some say that these were planted by the German prisoners of war while several others are of the opinion that they were planted to pay tribute to the pact made between Stalin and Hitler.
