We're back! With a brand new episode on the Cochineal Beetle.

This beetle has an ancient past - and has been used to do everything from make ink for the Aztecs to coloring Starbucks Frappuccinos. It also has a really cool trick to stay cool in the heat. Plus, we learn some cool facts about the male beetle - and it's lack of an important body part.

Thanks for your patience during our busy spring!

We'd love to hear from you - coolfactsaboutanimals@gmail.com
