Those guys behind "Futurama", know the future. Like totally! The Buggalo half cow, half insect exist! Though not in a black and white pattern, but they make milk! Here is the proof: "The case for cockroach milk: The next superfood?".
The milk crystals of the Pacific beetle cockroach are beautiful. Slice open an embryonic roach under a microscope, and the crystals spill out in a shower of nutrient-dense glitter.
But the flavor of cockroach milk is nothing to write home about. Subramanian Ramaswamy, a biochemist at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in Bangalore, India, told The Washington Post as much early Tuesday. As a party dare — he'd lost a drinking competition — one of Ramaswamy's colleagues once ate a sprinkling of the crystals.
My daughter is scared!

Just tell the kids that cockroach milk is hallucinogenic and let the demand rise on its own. Some of the palmetto bugs we get down here seem big enough to be hallucinations in themselves.
