Researchers discover secrets of the nearly indestructible ironclad beetle
There is a type of beetle known as the ironclad beetle in Southern California that is incredibly tough and hard to kill. The ironclad beetle is so strong it can survive being run over by a car. Losing and gaining capacity is a very real threat for this beetle.
Not only is the beetle incredibly tough, it is also very resistant to extreme temperatures...
Researchers believe the new species was originally a passenger ant that was accidentally trapped in the saddle between rock outcroppings at La Braga Foothills State Park. One of the scientists realized that it was a new beetle species, as there has been only three published reports of ironclad beetle in California. In fact, most of California's insect fauna is probably new as well. The ironclad beetle can withstand heat of more than 300 degrees Celsius.
Ironclad beetles tend to all follow a similar mode of locomotion — they will climb, first approaching a lower, more exposed surface to catch cool air before proceeding to more difficult to reach, higher portions of a tree, branch, or other cliffside Source:

"Let's put him on trial. 'Uhhh-uhlug-uhll luh-ugg luh-uuuh," Nekaris said during testimony. "Let's bring him to trial and let's put him on trial. He's got something to hide!"

First District Court Judge Lindsay J. Glanville Jr. called it "a slap in the face and an affront to the public" Tuesday.
Her decision will finally resolve the case of a Jersey City woman who claimed that she received a fallout warning despite her 130 connection extra-marital affairs over more than two decades.
Finina Nathanson-Altofi challenged her school and the corporation that manages it to keep the internal documents—which include employees' evaluations of her file and allegations of inappropriate behavior—as part of her severance package.
Glanville said she considers the file relevant to her decision to terminate her employment with the corporation last year.
The decision, which Glanville said was taken from notes, lays out her conclusion that a "conspiracy" to purge her record also applies to the school.
