Dailey Bailey: Scientists Discover a Brand New Life Form . . . In a Truck Stop Bathroom

Here’s a perfect anecdote about how filthy bathrooms can get at a truck stop.

They’re so disgusting, they can breed new life. In South Africa, scientists discovered a brand new life form . . . in a, quote, “filthy” bathroom at a truck stop.

The scientists found a never-before-seen order of bugs. An order is bigger than a species . . . basically, species fall into an order. The scientists say this is like discovering bats if you never knew bats existed.

The bugs are small and bright green . . . they look kind of like pear-shaped crickets . . . and they’ve been named Manto-phasma-todes. The scientists found six unique species in the bathroom and took some to their labs to investigate more.
