Fun fact: there’s a virus that makes bugs iridescent
disease that makes you beautiful then kills you
i feel like you guys would appreciate this fact
OKAY
THIS IS CALLED INVERTEBRATE IRIDESCENT VIRUS 31 or ISOPOD IRIDOVIRUS
THERE UNFORTUNATELY ISN'T A LOT OF INFORMATION ON IT
BUT IT INCREASES BUGE MORTALITY AND TURNS THEM SHINY AND BLURPLE
There’s actually multiple of them, each targeting a different host
For example, invertebrate iridescent virus 3 mainly infects mosquito larvae
