  A 19th-century Japanese woodblock print in the ukiyo-e s.t.y.l.e depicting a weaver using a beater, a weaving tool designed to push the weft yarn securely into place, in her hand, mounted from a notched pole and suspended overhead. Beaters appear both in a hand-held form, and as an integral part of a loom. At her feet, she controls several heddles with their mounting and attachments.

  Woodcut artist: Yanagawa Shigenobu

  The Red-eyed Tree Frog (Litoria chloris) is a species of tree frog native to eastern Australia; ranging from north of Sydney to Proserpine in mid-northern Queensland. These frogs typically reach a size of 65 millimetres (2.6 in). Its skin secretions have been found to destroy HIV, without harming healthy T cells.
