Nature is cool as shit, and the diversity of insects is wild. It's time you nerds started learning about bugs. So you better pick a bug you like and tell me about it.

Here are some of of my faves:

        Lord Howe Island Stick Insect. They thought they were extinct due to invasive animals a century ago but they found them clinging to a sheer rock kilometers out in the ocean called Bells Pyramid, just chilling. Took awhile to find something they'd eat, but now they've bred thousands in captivity.
