You can actually have bugs and bug parts in your food. Most of us aren't planning to sit down to a dinner that intentionally includes things like maggots, crickets, worms, or any kind of insect. We've seen horror stories of people finding bugs in their fast food or opening something from the grocery store to find a bug in it.

Flags popping up in your yard? Here's what you can do about it. If you've lived in a neighborhood for a while, you've probably had at least one stretch of time where orange utility flags lined our lawns, common areas, and/or driveways. And in stormy or windy weather like we've had lately, they get blown across the street and maybe even into the next cul-de-sac. The flags and spray paint markings aren't cute, they can be annoying, but can you get rid of them and not face consequences? First, the companies (gas, water, internet, whatever) have to tell you what they're doing and how long it's...…Flags popping up in your yard? Here's what you can do about it.

CanvaWe remember how nuts everyone went for the eclipse in 2018, right? There's a new one on the literal horizon.According to NASA's website there will be a solar eclipse (known as the "ring of fire" eclipse) that will be visible from all 49 continental states.If you're wondering why it got the fun "ring of fire" nickname, KCCI has your answer:The "ring of fire" nickname comes from the appearance of annular solar eclipses, which are like total solar eclipses, except the moon is at the farthest point in its orbit from Earth, so they can't completely block the sun.
