The Six-Legged Narrative EPS 2026-03-31

What do cyborg insects, a 300-million-year evolutionary arms race, and a horse disease you've probably never heard of all have in common? They're all part of today's Six-Legged Narrative.From a university lab doing things with cockroaches that will make you do a double take, to a nearly invisible insect quietly reshaping one of the world's most beloved fruit industries — today's stories are a reminder that the smallest creatures on the planet are constantly pulling strings we don't even know exist.We're also tracking a painful invader spreading across two continents, diving into some jaw-dropping new science about the ancient war between plants and insects, and closing with a disease connection near rivers and waterways that horse owners genuinely need to hear.Six stories. Countless legs. Zero dull moments.
