Cockroaches are often considered dirty & pests...but did you know only 30/4,600 are pests?
Many cockroaches are docile, beautiful, & can even make great pets! Take Pseudoglomeris magnifica, a diurnal species native to Vietnam it lives on the forest floor looking for fallen fruit

Anodizing is coating a metal with an oxide layer to make it durable (& in some cases colorful!).
By sticking the metal in a acid electrolyte bath & running electricity through it you can bind materials in the liquid medium to it, protecting it from rust & weather wear!

Tortoise beetles are a treasure to find!
Similar to how an octopus changes its color for camouflage, some tortoise beetles have a special fluids underneath the transparent shell they can use to appear glossy or matte, camouflaging themselves depending on their environment!

VINE SNAKE FACT: Vine snakes are interesting hunters! They are predators with binocular vision, like us! They are arboreal, spending their whole lives in the forest canopy, and feed on small vertebrates like frogs and birds.

The eastern hognose snake, Heterodon platirhinos, has earned its academy award for its uncanny ability to fake death in ANY threatening situation. Not only does it look like its dying, but it secretes a horrendous smell to hit home the message *audience applause* ๐๐๐

NUDIBRANCH FACT:
Some of these cuties photosynthesize! Not directly, they feed on algae on coral, and then they store the chloroplast (the center for sun energy to nutritional energy) from the algae in their cerata! They can survive off the chloroplasts they absorb for months.

A insect jewelry trend today is using caddisfly larvae! These larvae are aquatic & build homes out of little stones on riverbeds. In captivity you can provide them gemstones & they'll make their homes out of those! When the larvae are done with them you can harvest for jewelry ๐

Insects are a DELICIOUS more sustainable source of protein! There's a reason so many cultures use them in dishes. Don't let some adults telling you "ew gross dirty" when you were a kid deter you from trying amazing food.
