The Taxonomic Impostor
The curator at Cleveland Museum of Natural History deserves a promotion for this masterpiece! They've arranged a beautiful beetle collection with one sneaky impostor—a tiny Volkswagen Beetle car perfectly pinned among its six-legged namesakes. It's taxonomically incorrect but conceptually brilliant.
