Because scientists are determined to make DNA hacking the way of the future whether you refuse to eat GMO corn or not, ‘synthetic biology startup’ Light Bio has created Firefly Petunias, flowers infused with the DNA of bioluminescent mushrooms so they glow in the dark. And the USDA has just

This is a video of Robert “Crazy Rocketman” Maddox (previously) riding the Rocket Board, a homemade rocket-powered skateboard he constructed. It’s pretty glorious.

This is a compilation of jump cuts created by bug lover and Instagram user bughaus_adi of insect eggs, and the full grown insects that they develop into. There is also a series of juvenile insects vs adult insects. Those orchid mantises are wild. That spider too. I did warn you
