Forked Comb Fern (Schizaea bifida). Shout out to Brian G whose fabulous Blue Mountains flora albums have been an excellent source of identifications and info for me! These little beauties were found in the bush in Springwood, Blue Mountains, NSW.
This is one piece from a series of illustrations representing the dynastic combs of the 5 sovereign birds; Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou.
Emperor Liang, the first ruling member of the royal sovereign birds. Often, untrustworthy and traitorous, Liang's methods were considered an embarrassment to the dynasty. However, some might argue that this ruler gave song to the 'Golden Age'.
The colouring is reminiscent of the Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus).
There was a board over this old window. It fell out in a wind storm and revealed this huge honey comb behind.
82 nit combs were found on the Mary Rose, the most commonly found personal objects recovered! With the exception of one ivory one,they were all made of wood, mainly boxwood, with a single alder example.

This stylist cockily sticks the comb into her own hair, much like a pencil behind the ear, for when she needs to use it.

Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

Comb jellies are beautiful, oval-shaped animals with eight rows of tiny comb-like plates that they beat to move themselves through the water. As they swim, the comb rows diffract light to produce a shimmering, rainbow effect. Voracious predators on other jellies, some can expand their stomachs to hold prey nearly half their own size.

A wasp comb found in a western ghat beach shore along the famous Shayadri Ghat coastal region.A stinging often predatory insect of the order Hymenoptera ,esp,a social insect of the common genus Vespula , with black and yellow stipes and a very thin waist.The wasp comb is constructed by these wasp colony purely out of the sea shore sand particles.It is amazingly astonishing to watch the intricate method of making the same.
The colors are wonky on this, but you can see basically how it came out. I like it. (Done with a big-toothed comb dragged across wet paint.)
Ctenophora (/tɨˈnɒfərə/; singular ctenophore, /ˈtɛnəfɔr/ or /ˈtiːnəfɔr/; from the Greek κτείς kteis 'comb' and φέρω pherō 'carry'; commonly known as comb jellies) is a phylum of animals that live in marine waters worldwide.
Their most distinctive feature is the "combs", groups of cilia they use for swimming.
The comb rows of most planktonic ctenophores produce a rainbow effect, which is not caused by bioluminescence but by the scattering of light as the combs move.
