Close-Up of the First Mechanical Gear Ever Found in Nature

The biological form of a mechanical gear was observed in nature for the first time in juvenile planthoppers (Genus: Issus), a common insect that can be found in gardens across Europe.

The insect has hind-leg joints with curved cog-like strips of opposing ‘teeth’ that intermesh, rotating like mechanical gears to synchronize the animal’s legs when it launches into a jump. The finding demonstrates that gear mechanisms previously thought to be solely man-made have an evolutionary precedent.

I was fine. With the men. 
Who would come into her life now and again
I was fine– Cause I knew That they didn’t really matter… until you 
I was fine. When you came. And we fought like it was all some silly game 
Over her– Who she’d choose 
After all those years I never thought I’d lose. 

It’s over, isn’t it? 
Isn’t it. Isn’t it over? 
It’s over, isn’t it. Isn’t it? 
Isn’t it over. 

You won and she chose you
And she loved you and she’s gone. 
It’s over isn’t it… 
Why can’t I move on? 

War and glory Reinvention 
Fusion, freedom, her attention 
Out in daylight, my potential 
Bold, precise Experimental 

Who am I now in this world without her 
Petty, and dull with the nerve to doubt her 
What does it matter, it’s already done
 Now I’ve got to be there for her son–!

It’s over isn’t it? 
Isn’t it? Isn’t it over. 
It’s over isn’t it? Isn’t it? 
Isn’t it over! 

You won and she chose you 
And she loved you and she’s gone! 
It’s over. Isn’t it. 
Why can’t I move on? 
It’s over isn’t it? 
Why can’t I move on…
