In this photo taken on February 11, 2026, Cristian Lucanas, an entomologist from the University of the Philippines Los Banos, shows preserved specimens of cockroaches among troves inside a laboratory at the University of the Philippines in Los Banos town, south of Manila. A thin band of light from Cristian Lucanas's headlamp pierces the blackness of a Philippine rainforest as he digs through the underbrush before gently scooping up a cockroach with his bare hands.
