This is pretty incredible. In the bowels of the UT Insect Collection we’ve found some Chagas bugs collected and identified by Carlos Chagas himself!

Truly one of the truest of bugs.

@alexwild

Is there a dominant or distinct odor associated with these individual specimens or with open collection boxes or in the areas where the collections are stored?

Can you smell all those dead bugs?
What's it like?

Somehow, looking at these pictures, it seems to me like you might, and it might not be good...
