Genus Coridius:
β Researchers from Bengaluru have discovered three new edible bug species.
β The newly discovered bugs are part of the genus Coridius and belong to the family Dinidoridae. They range in size from 15 mm to 25 mm and primarily feed on plant sap.
β These species belong to the edible orthopteran group, which includes grasshoppers, crickets, and locusts. Usually eaten by people from Northeast.
β The new species are named:
-Coridius adii
-Coridius esculentu
-Coridius insperatus
β This research supports the promotion of insects as a sustainable protein source, which can complement traditional livestock farming that often has significant environmental impacts.
β Consumption of some of the darker-coloured bugs was found to have a neurotoxic effect, with the affected people becoming photophobic.

People calling this case a NIRBHAYA 2.0 , kya ye sahi h?
Giving it numbers, does it mean we'll wait for there to be more additions to the series?
Har case different hota h
Kolkata case might share similarities in terms of the crime being a sexual assault,
But
It might not be identical in terms of the brutality, circumstances.
labeling it as "Nirbhaya 2.0" could overshadow its different context, brutality and the specifics of how it has been handled by society, the media, and the legal system.
Calling the Kolkata case "Nirbhaya 2.0" could inadvertently suggest that only cases of extreme brutality deserve attention, which might undermine the importance of addressing all forms of sexual violence with equal seriousness.
