    Ladybugs have a weird smell when you handle them. Smells a bit like earwax.
    Also, from the time when I hatched flies as food animals, flies really stink but you don’t normally notice because you don’t smell it when it’s just one. Put 100 flies in a bucket and they STINK.
    No idea what’s going on with the ants though. I’m still not convinced this isn’t a hoax.










  • I probably would have gone into tech earlier if I’d had a female role model in tech. When my (male) friends started programming in high school, I was very interested and wanted to learn it too. But it literally didn’t occur to me that I could, until ten years later, when I was already far along in a study in the humanities. I ended up in data/ software development in the end, but it took me ten years longer because I didn’t realise earlier that it was a field I could get into if I wanted.
    So long story short, it’s not just a matter of interest, there are societal factors that play a role too.
