Help in downloading video clips:
to while away the time here are some suggestions:
find out why butterflies are called 'butter flies'; measure the length of thread in a spider's web; teach a cockroach to jump; count the legs of a millipede; find out what Katy did; measure the speed of a cockroach; measure the speed of your partner/parent/neighbour fleeing from a cockroach/spider or scorpion; find out if you are harbouring any ticks, lice (pubic or otherwise), fleas or other interesting guests; find out how much blood a mosquito can suck in one go; imagine the cockroaches in your house doing ballroom dancing; imagine a macho film full of blondes and four wheel drive Toyotas called 'Grasshopper hunter'; stop imagining and make yourself a cup of coffee
