Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Ogyges toriyama and O. mutenroshii are two species of beetle belonging to the bessbug family. This group is unusual for its social behaviour, as adults build communal tunnels in which they lay their eggs and parents care for their young after they hatch. The two speiceis, O. toriyama and O. mutenroshii were discovered by Enio B. Cano in 2014 and named after the creater of the manga Dragon Ball and one of its principle characters, repectively.
