My daughter who is in 9th grade would like to be an Entomologist. I need suggestions on a manufacturer and which magnifications, I think I need a stereo Binocular. And other information or features would be helpful.

Can anyone identify this insect? - very weird!?

Sorry - no photo. My neighbor hacked it to bits thinking it was a scorpion. It was not.
The bug looked like a flesh colored overgrown cricket about 2 1/2" long. It was actually fleshy, not scaly. The head was 1/2" long and about 3/8" thick. At the top center of its body, on the top, was a bumblebee shaped and striped part about 1" long. Could not see if it had a stinger. Again, no scales, very smooth except for the bumblebee part. Didn't seem to be able to fly, just crawl. It was freaky.

What is the unbiased truth regarding the effects of levels of B.S.T. in milk?

What is the unbiased truth and data regarding the effects of residual levels of bovine administered B.S.T. in purchased carton dairy milk, as seen in humans; i.e., what evidence exists of whether or not there is a correlation between consumption of milk from cows given supplemental B.S.T., and cases such as extra early onset (precocious) development in modern humans in preadolescence? Why is or why is there not cause for consumers, particularly parents of younger children, to have concern about adverse hormonal changes from B.S.T., and to what degree, taking into account other factors that have a bearing in fluctuating biological variables and maturation, and considering that the intended result in the dairy cows likely also may be observed in other mammals, however unintentional, undesired, or even devastating the latter may be?

aside from the honey bee, is there any other creature that makes something edible to humans?

i know bee's create honey, but is there any other creatures in the world that create something that we eat? (and no, milk doesn't count so don't say cows, goats, or any other creature humans milk. don't say cheese either since it's humans who make that using raw ingredients)

I had a small baby possum show up in my house this morning. Are there more coming??

This morning a small baby possum came out from under a chair my cat trapped him under for the night...I believe. The night before we heard noises coming from the fireplace insert and I believe somehow it came in that way and then found it's way into the house during the night. The possum has run out of the house. I am just wondering if there are more to come?? Could I have baby possums showing up in the next few days?? I am so not nature so I have no knowledge on this kind of thing at all. Could someone shed some light on this for me?
