Hi. Welcome to weirdbeautiful.
First link-of-the-week today is (again) to a medical, rather than a wildlife story. This article talks about research into how/if acupuncture works, concluding that acupuncture needles release adenosine (a compound known to reduce inflammation and pain) into the tissue around the needles. I don't know enough about the subject to comment on this, but I thought it was/is an interesting story -

The second link is both weird and beautiful- a micrographic image of daisy pollen-
