Laser Rainbow This laser rainbow projection is a project from artist Yvette Mattern. It's a kind of a promotion for the London Olympics; it'll shine along the North Tyneside coastline for four days. Bethany Clarke/Getty Images

This week's image roundup includes laser rainbows, cars exploding, a bat with the weirdest nose we have ever seen on an animal we didn't drunkenly draw ourselves as part of a board game, edible silk, and a moth that (if we irresponsibly exaggerate to the point of sheer fiction, abandoning all pretense of scientific accuracy or objective reporting) can and will literally eat you whole. Enjoy!
