These bugs don’t have to fly far at all — in fact, they hitchhike! https://youtu.be/IGtbHRPcSe8
Spotted lanternflies spread by clinging to cars, shipping containers… even outdoor furniture.
Watch how they got here — and why they’re so hard to stop.
And maybe next time you take a road trip, check your ride for any uninvited passengers!

Ever checked your egg carton before putting it in your shopping cart — just to make sure they were all intact? https://youtu.be/ilpmpCEDK8A
It’s surprising how delicate chicken eggs seem, because each one can support 50 to 100 pounds!

Reptiles, amphibians, birds, insects, sea creatures and even some mammals all lay eggs. But why not humans? How were we able to evolve from having to still do this? We'll address this on Tuesday's episode of Big Ideas.

This tiny fly may look like it’s wearing rainbow sunglasses, but those shimmering orbs are its compound eyes. 🪰
Fruit flies have thousands of ommatidia — or tiny lenses — packed into each eye.
Those iridescent colored lenses help the fly spot prey (and maybe even attract a date).
Tiny hunter. Major glam. ✨
