MAR Living: Buggalo is here!

Accepted submission by Anonymous Coward at 2016-07-27 01:10:27
Science

Those guys behind "Futurama", know the future. Like totally! The Buggalo [wikia.com] 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? [washingtonpost.com]".

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!
