A 46,000-year-old worm found in Siberian permafrost was brought back to life, and started having babies - eviltoast
Scientists on Thursday published a paper identifying and naming the worm, which they said belonged to a previously-unidentified species.

Well so it begins.

      I thought all insects have 6 legs, 2 antenna, and an exoskeleton, therefore worms like mealworms aren’t insects either.

          Interesting, thanks for the fun fact! My kid is absolutely obsessed with learning all things about animals so I’m keeping stuff like this on deck for when he’s a little bit older and can understand. I’ve learned more about animals in the last year watching videos with him than all through school, which is equal parts sad and awesome.
