Transcript:
Calvin: I'm going outside, Mom! Hold all my calls. Calvin looks around. Something is different. The odd-colored tree behind him slowly lifts up! It's not a tree at all! It's a leg. Oh no! Calvin is the size of a bug to a bug! He runs for his life! A claw crashes with deafening impact! The bug is trying to step on Calvin! What a horrible fate! Calvin scrambles madly, promising himself that we'll never squish another bug if he lives to return to normal size! Suddenly in a spray of slime, the bug is gone! A monstrous frog licks it's chops! Calvin is saved! Mom: Aacck! What's that on my plate?! Good Heavens, get it off the table!! Calvin: But Mom, frogs are our friends.

Frogs are friends, but that doesn’t mean I want one on my table. Bats do a good job of eating insects, as do Purple Martins, and swallows and swifts.

It’s funny how the frog looks about the same size as the bug. Not even a Tree Frog or a Poison Dart Frog (I capitalize animal names sometimes for some reason) is about the same size as an insect. They ARE however about the same size as a mosquito hawk.

When I was a little kid, I watched basically all the animal documentaries in the world.

Just wonder what the bugs feel when humans try to squish them.

I’m reminded of the time one of our cats presented my mother with a gift. A garter snake plopped into her tuna salad (it was decades before she would eat tuna again).
