While scientists have advised against eating cicadas infected with Massospora cicadina (a fungus that presents as white growth from the cicada's posterior), you can always cook up the others! I'm a mantis, so I eat bugs all the time, but it's excitin
A research team at @riceuniversity has discovered a new species of tiger beetle and named it Eunota houstoniana (because it's predominantly found in the Houston area). The habitats of the Eunota houstoniana are under immediate threat from urbanizati
They get it from their mamas! In time for Mother's Day, here's a fact that will make all the moms proud: New research finds that honey bees might inherit altruistic traits from their mothers. According to the study from @pennstate, female worker hon
The clock is ticking down on cicada-geddon, the exciting event that will see billions of cicadas across two groups emerge together for the first time since 1803, and there'll be a surprise guest at this year's party. Massospora cicadina, a type of ci
Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek to all the teachers out there, and to my former teachers in particular (can you imagine teaching a mantis? It wasn't easy). I love visiting classrooms around America and teaching kids about the wonderful world of insec

This is not a drill: spiders used to have tails. Several years ago, a team of researchers found a spider fossil from about 100 million years ago with a tail intact! The specimen from the species Chimerarachne yingi was found preserved in amber. Tho
Did you know that honey doesn't spoil? Well, not in a mantis' lifetime, at least. In 1922, honey from ancient Egypt was found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb, and the archaeologists who unearthed it actually gave it a try! Turns out honey is time
Is anyone else still recovering from daylight savings? Just me? Well, at least I'm not out of sync with most of the living world, like the black chafer beetle! Holotrichia parallela, also known as the black chafer beetle, follows a 48-hour cycle (un
