Colombian environmental engineer Germán Viasus Tibamoso, owner of Tierra Viva, holds a Hercules beetle in Tunja, Colombia, Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022. The company transforms solid, organic waste, with the help of beetle larvae's digestive microorganisms, that transform the waste into a compost rich in nitrogen and phosphorous. Once adults, the beetles are sent to scientific labs and others to Japan where they are popular as pets. (AP Photo/Fernando Vergara)
