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.

[If you're a hard sci-fi fan and haven't read Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga [wikipedia.org] , start now. I saw Cordelia's Honor on my sister & brother-in-law's shelves for years, and thought it was a romance novel, until I read a review online. That'll teach me not to judge a book by its cover, nor to dis my sister on such judgment!]
