Brazilian humpbacked bat: one of the most unusual insects in the world (3 photos + 1 video)
Meet the Brazilian humpbacked fly. This amazing insect from the cicada family is famous for its bizarre growths on its body. 
Not a Pokémon, not a neural network—this is the Brazilian humpbacked fly, one of the most unusual insects on the planet. These tiny creatures primarily live in tropical forests, and their main characteristic is the enormous growths on their body that resemble antennae or horns.
Scientists don't know exactly what these growths are used for. The main hypothesis is camouflage and protection from predators: due to the insect's strange shape, it can be mistaken for a mushroom, a plant, a dangerous parasite, or something inedible.
