From catching beetles to synthesizing them! The top shows a stag beetle (probably a Lucanus cervus) resting on someone's palm - the kind of critter that would make any curious kid squeal with delight. The bottom shows the chemical formula for potassium phthalate with a radical - which happens to look EXACTLY like our six-legged friend! The beetle's pincers become carboxyl groups, its body transforms into a benzene ring, and suddenly your childhood fascination morphs into professional obsession. Evolution at its finest - from bug collector to bond creator! Nature's blueprint for career development, apparently!
