Lego models of invertebrates: needs to reach 10,000 supporters to enter production.

“This set features four arthropod model organisms: the fruit fly #Drosophila melanogaster, the red flour beetle #Tribolium castaneum, the amphipod crustacean #Parhyale hawaiensis, and the two-spotted cricket #Gryllus bimaculatus.”

The LEGO account setup accepts throwaway emails, so no need to commit to endless spam.

Arthropod Model Organisms

Scientists have learned a great deal about biology from a handful of "model organisms" – animals with unique characteristics that make them excellent ...
