Horseshoe crabs are amazing creatures that live near the coast.

Eventhough they're called crabs, they are more like spiders or scorpions.

These

unique animals have been around for a very long time, even before dinosaurs
lived. People often call them "living fossils" because the way their bodies

grow has stayed the same for millions of years.

Horseshoe crabs have a hard shell that looks like a horseshoe, giving them
their name.

This shell works like armor, protecting their body.

Ashorseshoe crabs grow, their bodies need more space, so they take off theirold shell and get a new, larger one - this is called molting. Many horseshoe
crabs can continue to live and molt for 20 years.

Another interesting thing about horseshoe crabs is their special blue blood.
This blue blood contains a useful material. Scientists use this special
material to test medicines for safety.

It's like the horseshoe crab is helping

sharp tail, but actually, they don’t sting; they use their tails to flip over ifthey're upside down.

come out. Sometimes though, their eggs are eaten by sea birds.

Understanding and protecting horseshoe crabs is important if we want tolook after coastal areas.

２Colors make our world more interesting, and one popular color is red. But did you everthink about where the red paint on your walls, in your lipstick and in some of yourclothes came from?
More than 2000 years ago, people found a surprising way to make red: tiny insects
called cochineal. These little bugs live on cactus plants in places like Central andSouth America. The Aztecs and Incas were some of the first people to find out that byheating and then crushing these insects, they could make a bright red color.
Cochineal insects became so useful and valuable that they were eventually taken to alldifferent parts of the world. The red color from these insects was valued for coloringclothing and also for making paints. The color that crushing cochineal makes is calledcarmine and it has been used in paint for hundreds of years.
Even today, cochineal powder is used in some red paints and dyes but is most often usedin make-up and foods. In fact, you have probably eaten cochineal without even knowingit.
Cochineal red can be found in red-colored candy, in some fruit juices and yogurts aswell as other things such as strawberry jam. Even though the idea of eating insects
might sound strange or even bad, cochineal extract is safe and has been used in foodfor a long time.
The story of cochineal insects and their use in clothes, paint and food coloring is areminder that everything in the world has a story. What to us is just a nice color
actually has a long and interesting history. So, the next time you see a bright red
wall or enjoy some sliced ham, think about the tiny cochineal insect which came all theway from cacti in South America to put more colour into your day.
