Exploring the ancient and alien-like peripatus, "velvet worm"
What do you reckon is the most bizarre, most ingenious of all the weird creatures on Aotearoa’s ‘Ark that Evolution Forgot’? There are plenty to choose from, but my nomination would be ngaokeoke – the peripatus.

We don’t need to eat insects, but we could feed them to animals

Pitfall traps – monitoring ground-dwelling insects – SLH STUDENT ACTIVITY
Pitfall traps are simply containers dug into the ground so the top of the container is level with the ground. Sometimes a small roof can be erected over the trap to keep rain out. Insects that are active on the ground are caught by falling into the trap, from which they cannot escape. Scientists often use pitfall traps to create an inventory of the insects present in an area.

Yellow pan traps – monitoring flying insects – SLH STUDENT ACTIVITY
Insect vision is quite different to human vision, but insects do see colours, and they use their colour vision to get around and find food. We can exploit their preference for different colours in order to catch them to study their biology or monitor their abundance and diversity.

An Auckland student has created a maggot farm in India which processes 200 kilograms of food waste per day. The farm can hold up to three tonnes of organic waste and there are millions of maggots, which spend about 12 days consuming the waste. The maggots, from the black soldier fly species, process waste from local restaurants consuming rice, vegetables, fruits and spicy foods like chili peppers - turning it all into fertiliser and chicken feed.
