I think Ampulex compressa has moved forward and is now spreading it's memes! (using all of us as vehicles. did you feel that tiny virtual sting in your neck?) I got word that the wasp and roach story might show up on the History Channel pretty soon. Actually, I got interviewed for one of the episodes of a show named "Evolve". Seems to be a very interesting show. I think they already aired a few episodes. Very Cool.

Last night I had a chance to sit and read a good chunk of it. I found myself making funny faces at all the weird stuff I was learning, and had to put it down every once in a while to absorb what was going on. The part that just blew me away was the fluke's influence over sexual reproduction in snails. Wow. Just wow. Thanks for another great book. I’m in the last third, or thereabouts of Parasite Rex.
