Zoo Vets Use a Cotton Swab to Make 'World's Tiniest Neck Brace' for a Struggling Bug

Summary

Entomology relates to the study of insects, which includes the care and rehabilitation of injured insects like the Peruvian jumping stick at the Houston Zoo. The zoo successfully used a swab to craft a tiny brace for the insect's "neck", indicative of the detailed and innovative care practices in entomology. The incident occurred away from the Oregon Zoo, Washington Park, or Metro, which are unrelated to the article's events but are tagged due to their general association with animals and conservation.
