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.

Dang bees will try to attach burr comb between any two surfaces they think are too far apart. This little knob of comb was on its way to being joined with the cover to Sui's hive.
A few things stand out about the comb jellies just added to Shedd’s Jellies special exhibit: They don’t have the trailing, stinging tentacles that characterize so many jelly species. They do have rows of comblike structures running lengthwise on their bell-shaped bodies. They can eat 10 times their weight in zooplankton and other prey a day. (True, these animals are microweights, but that’s still an impressive feat of gourmandism.) And where they put all that food is, at first glance, a mystery, because these comb jellies, genus Mnemiopsis, are as transparent as the water they float through.
This is a much jelly than the lobed comb or spotted comb jellies, and the body is much less transparent.
