Description:

"Believe it or not this is a real thing that I did not make up. Instead, I found it under a log, and not, say, in Hell, or in Skeletor's garage. As with all weird harvestmen, I thought to myself, ""I bet Marshall Hedin knows what this is,"" and indeed, perusing his Flickr photos quickly revealed something pretty close, which then led to Debbi's pic of the same on BugGuide, and then to this overview of this extremely weird subfamily. The pancake-flipping apparatus on its face (as Cassidy aptly named it), is of unknown function, and therefore *could* theoretically be used to flip tiny, tiny, infernal pancakes."
