Did you know insects have their very own natural armour? 🪲✨

Chitin is a remarkable material that forms part of an insect's exoskeleton, helping protect it while also playing an important role in nature.

As insects grow and decompose, chitin returns to the soil, supporting a healthier environment and stronger plant growth. 🌱
