I had a dog that would catch bumblebees in his mouth and eat them. For some reason it was only bumblebees, though. Anything else he would ignore.

Satchel is colored wrong in the 3rd panel… his mouth and nose area should be gray.

I recall seeing a news story about a study done on “how to kill flies with a fly swatter” No I’m serious, it was all aobut how a fly changes it’s take off patern basied on the direction your coming from and where you should track to when aiming at them.

There’s the story of a Kung Fu master teaching his student about life. He tells the student, “See that fly buzzing around our heads?”
“Yes, replies the student.”
“Watch what I do with these chopsticks” , says the master.
He tracks the fly for a moment with the chopsticks in hand, at the right moment thrusts the chopsticks at the fly. The fly continues buzzing around.
The master proudly says, “What do you think of that, young student?”
“The fly is still buzzing around, not much to think”, says the student.
“Ah”, says the master, “but he will never father children again.”
