If you have pet like lizards, snakes, mice or ants that enjoy eating insects you might know about "dubias."
The females have no wings at all. The males have wings, but can't fly. They are heavy, slightly clumsy and shy bugs who try to hide under each other.
Anyone who looked at a female dubia would know "that creature cannot fly"
But apparently SOMEONE "launched" female dubias ... just to check.
I am somehow both amused and offended.
