@oddanimalspecimens: This is a sample of dried insect product that people unknowingly eat everyday. It’s from an organism called a “lac insect” and is often used in food as a glaze. You might find it in candy - like Whoppers Malted Milk Balls - food, and even cosmetics under the name “lac resin” or “confectioner’s glaze”. #animals #Science #LearnOnTikTok
