   Flying through the air on a summer's evening or sparkling in the ocean you may see magical flashes of light that signal some of nature's most enchanting creatures, those that are bioluminescent.

3. Foam nests in animals
   Nests crop up everywhere, but one made out of foam? Might not sound like a great idea, but it is. And no surprise, it has evolved several times...

4. Explosive discharge in fungi and plants
   The very rapid release of reproductive bodies is perhaps most famous in the fungi, where several methods of flinging spores at high velocity have evolved independently.

5. Moray eels
   Eels masquerading as snakes sounds interesting, and that is before they go hunting with their friends the groupers...  

6. Mushrooms and their relatives (Basidiomycota)
   Mushrooms are not only tasty, but also provide numerous examples of evolutionary convergence...

7. Crabs: insights into convergence
   You might think of crabs mainly as food, but this group is also highly instructive in terms of convergence…

8. Nuptial gifts in insects and spiders
   Male dance flies lure females with a dead insect. Not very romantic, you might think, but it certainly does the trick. Hence, such nuptial gifts have evolved in numerous other arthropods...

9. Pharyngeal jaws in teleost fish
   One of the great evolutionary breakthroughs in the teleost fish was the conversion of some of the elements that supported the gill bars into a second set of pharyngeal teeth that complemented the oral teeth. See how a fish becomes a snake!

10. Hearts in cephalopods and vertebrates
    There is a striking convergence between the aorta of the cephalopod and vertebrate heart, notably in its structure and the employment of elastic proteins.
