We selected for large body size in black soldier flies. Across three replicates the phenotypic response to selection was similar - faster growth, more protein and 15% larger body size. But the genetic changes were highly polygenic and mostly different between replicates

This katydid from Ecuador has been affectionately named by photographers "candy-cane katydid". The truth is... we are not sure which species it is. One possibility is a Harroweria nymph, but until someone witnesses the transformation into the adult stage it will remain a mystery.
