Bad dog!
Security camera footage from inside a home in Kansas City, Missouri, shows a curious dog standing up at the stove to check out a pan containing some leftovers and accidentally switching on the stovetop. Or perhaps it did it on purpose to reheat the food? In any
case, the heat apparently sparked a grease fire that caused severe damage to the house. Fortunately, the dog, along with another canine housemate, was not hurt.
Environmental superworm chows down on polystyrene
Polystyrene (styrofoam) is a plastic that's particularly difficult to get rid of once it has been manufactured. When it degrades, it mostly just breaks down into smaller pieces, which find their way into the ecosystem and are ingested by fish and other animals. But now scientists from the University of Queensland in Australia have identified a "superworm" that is attracted to and will eat polystyrene. The larvae of Zophobas morio darkling beetles can eat styrofoam and digest it! The worms that were offered a diet of just styrofoam even gained weight, but they did not exactly thrive, as styrofoam does not provide all the nutrients they need.
