As an entomologist watching the Insect themed Kamen Rider Kabuto, I'm really impressed by all the little insect details on the suit designs.

The Japanese Rhinoceros beetle (Trypoxylus dichotomus) themed Kamen Rider Kabuto's chest armor is a Pronotum and Elytra, but look, he even has a scutellum!

Article about butterfly declines across North America, with a focus on monarchs. One of the primary threats is pesticide use.
Researchers analyzed 336 individual plants, including milkweeds, in the US and found only 22 did not have detectable pesticides.
In some cases, 100% of milkweed sold at retail nurseries had detectable levels of pesticides.
