But what would the criteria be? Colors? Size? (size doesn't matter),
symmetry? Architecture?
 
I wouldn't mind playing around with a most beautiful species discussion.
To see what other people consider is a beautiful natural object is interesting.
But let's at least set a few loose criteria. And don't forget to say *why*
you think a
particular species is beautiful...that's the most interesting part, to me.
