The yellow-bodied creatures are the first of their genus to be found in China.

The insects' incessant grooming helps keep their antennae clean enough to smell danger and potential mates.

The wasp larvae cover their cockroach food in antibiotics.

Scientists implant a fuel cell into the tummies of insects.

When oxygen levels are high, roaches get smart about where they expend their energy.
