Oooooooo bugs. Bugs are amazingly cool except perhaps poisonous ones like certain spiders, centipedes, and scorpions. In addition I myself am not personally a big fan of those bugs that scuttle (cockroaches for example). But overall I would have to say I'm a bug supporter. So it's big news when a new order of insects is discovered especially when it's been around 90 years since a new order of insect has been identified. This past week scientists have designated a new category called mantophasmatodea. These critters look like some kind of freakish combination of stick bugs and preying mantis. Actually most bugs are freakish looking. Anyhow read more about it
