The Six Foods created fries made of crickets that could cause the western world to change their eating habits.
The meat industry produces almost a fifth of all greenhouse gases created, occupy vast amounts of land, resources and energy, and is based on techniques that contribute to animal cruelty.
The idea of three Harvard graduates – Laura D’Asaro, Rose Wang e Meryl Natow – the first product of startup is Chirps, it's a naturallow-fat gluten free chip, instead of the usual potato or corn, Chirps are created from a mixture of ground grains, rice and powdered crickets, which are baked instead of fried.
The result is a bag of potato chips containing 7 grams of protein - more than one egg. This comes from the fact that the cricket meat provides more nutrients and proteins than traditional meat. All of this without harming nature.
Would you dare to try it? I know I would!
If your reaction is "ewwww! gross!", remember that in each chocolate bar are, on average, six cockroach legs!

In China, giant wasps are attacking people and doing many victims. More than 1600 people have been attacked in three months in which 42 people have died 205 were hospitalized.
The explanation of the recent attacks, would be that with the extinction of certain wasp predators such as certain birds or spiders, linked to climate change as the high abnormal heat in these last months that are the wasps specially nervous.
They mainly attack people who are running. In group, the wasp is known to be a ruthless hunter, the giant hornet attacks typically large insects like crickets and bees and is able to tear the heads of insects in a few seconds with their massive jaws.
The venom of the wasp and it's sting are extremely painful, and deaths are usually caused by an allergic reaction to the venom.
The Asian wasp known as Giant Hornet, is the largest in the world.

Beetles, bees, grasshoppers, butterflies, spiders, scorpions are part of the artwork of the artist Mike Libby in his exposition: I, insects.
The artist transforms, equipping them with small mechanical parts that give them the cyber appearance. It is an opportunity to confirm that there are stunningly beautiful insects.
The idea of equipping the insects with mechanical parts occurred to Libby a few years ago, after having found a dead beetle.
The beauty of the animal and how its various parts were articulated were the starting point for this work...
Libby empties insects (in the case of beetles) and puts in small inner parts of the mechanisms of clocks,but also electronics and even sewing machines's parts and other equipment.
It is nature and art showing their beauty.
