Mysterious insects

Sex on six legs

I have heard of Dung beetles on NPR. Just snippets here and there, so I didnt catch the part about the great good they do cleaning up the planet. There are numbers to show the benefit in terms of money. This metric is use di this book for many other activities of insects.

Last night I slept reading of Pestival's homage to Michael Jackson with a moon walker Vegetable Wasp. Sure enough I dreamt of being on a tram where Michael Jackson was doing an exclusive song-dance and we were all about to crash.

As kids we were told that cockroaches were resilient. They could survive the deserts and the freezing Antartica. Just when the roach was getting the 'Super insect' award, an Emerald wasp hypnotised it off-stage.

Zombie Caterpillars. Wow now dont we pity the caterpillar a natural death by another insect.
