Meet Your Roommates - The Arthropods in Homes

This is a piece of work I created when I worked in Local Climate (Jubuqihou) Media Co., Ltd. in Beijing, China. It generated over 170k+ views on WeChat, a Chinese multi-purpose social media. I was the scriptwriter of the story, and the graphical design part was mostly accomplished by my colleague. The original version was in Chinese.

In this work, we tell the story of a curious German cockroach, the dominant cockroach species in North China, travelling into the Southern part of the country. Narrating from the perspective of our little protagonist, we not only demonstrate the extraordinary diversity of household arthropods and their living environments, but also give a brief description of the exciting evolutionary history of these often-neglected creatures. We invite our readers to reflect on our relationships with other species and to hold a more friendly attitude towards the arthropods.
