What did you think of it? I thought it was fairly interesting, but watching the segment on the houseflys that carry another fly’s eggs that hatch and burrow into our skin, has caused me to allways know where my flyswatter is. ---

Yeah, it was fantasgreat. Surely it was dramatized for FOX of course, but its always nice to see something gross on FOX. It would just be so un-FOX-like to see something educational that didn’t freak out a large portion of the population. ---

I’m just waiting for the day when they make “Fast Animals, Slow Children” ---

I"m just curious as to how they did the whole “Swarming bees” dramatization without people actually getting stung. I mean, that was a lot of friggin bees! And those Japanese wasps…DAMN! Watching them attack that bee hive was just cool. I’m very glad I was in the bathroom when the fly larva thing came on, but I once knew a little kitten that died due to that. Not a pleasant thing. Cute kitten too. ☹ ---

Since I watched that show, every time I itch, I jump. ---

The Japanese wasps were the scariest damn thing I’ve ever seen. I freaked out when they showed how these things can spray venom in your eyes. ---

I forgot it was on until about 8:40 and then clicked it on just in time for the Japanese Hornets. Having been stung 26 times in the chest by honeybees when I was 2 1/2, I’m not a big fan of the flying and stinging corwd of insects, but DAMN!!! those hornets are just **E-V-I-L**. However I have a question. Are they excusive to Japan, 'cause I saw what look like dead ringers for them up on the campus of the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), back in 1995.
