“Come Over” feels less like a song and more like a conversation BTS and ARMY have been having for years. Through distance, enlistment, uncertainty, and time, there has always been this quiet promise between us: even after the hardest nights, we will find our way back to each other. The apologies, the longing, the fear that things might not be the same, and yet the hope to knock on the door anyway. That is what makes ‘come over’ so emotional, not because it is about perfection, but because it is about choosing each other again. There is something so vulnerable about BTS admitting they are lost and still trusting that ARMY will open the door. 'Cause it’s not over,' wrote the third user.

Scientists have discovered an insect fossil in Myanmar with large claws on its front legs, like forceps, an extremely rare feature in these creatures. It was found embedded in amber from the Kachin region, where lies the Cretaceous fauna of a 100-million-year-old forest ecosystem. The pincer-like feature looks like the grasping appendage of crabs, the study by scientists from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich states. Since this unique feature resembles the trademark pose of a popular K-pop band, Stray Kids, it has been named after it. "Previously, such chelae were known from only three insect groups. This fossil therefore represents the fourth known case of these structures evolving independently in insects," Privatdozentin Carolin Haug, zoologist at LMU's Faculty of Biology, said.&nbsp;The study has been published in the journal Insects. To examine the fossil, the team worked with researchers from the University of Rostock and the University of Oulu in Finland. Micro-computed tomography helped visualise all structures of its anatomy in 3D. Analyses of the shapes of more than 2,000 grasping claws across various species revealed something unexpected: the claws of a fossilised true bug looked nothing like those of other insects. Instead, this ancient insect shared a striking resemblance with more distant relatives in the arthropod family, specifically crustaceans like crabs, lobsters, and shrimp.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/dinosaurs-are-responsible-for-rapid-ageing-and-short-lifespans-in-humans-1777642716794">Dinosaurs are responsible for rapid ageing and short lifespans in humans</a><h2>K-pop and science come together</h2> Interestingly, the forcep or pincer found on this bug led to it being named after a popular Korean pop group. The fossil has been placed in a new genus of its own and given the scientific name Carcinonepa libererrantes. Carcino is the Latinised Greek word for crab, while nepa is a reference to the group of true water bugs known as Nepomorpha. Meanwhile, the species name "libererrantes" is a Latinisation of the K-pop group Stray Kids. "The name seemed fitting because the posture of the fossil's chelae strongly resembles the group's trademark pose. Stray Kids, I should add, is the favourite band of one of the paper's authors, Fenja Haug," she explained.&nbsp;The bug most likely used the chelae on its front legs for catching small insects. Its body structure shows similarities to living representatives of the group Gelastocoridae, commonly known as toad bugs, which have turned into terrestrial predators over the years.
