To cap off the experiment, Gal and Libersat then pretended to be wasps: they injected wasp venom directly into the SEG of healthy cockroaches. The injection zombified the roaches. The insects barely moved on their own, and they hardly budged in response to a terrifying puff of air.Now I'm NOT saying that the correlation between cockroaches and people is a straight line graph but we all know people who aren't much smarter than cockroaches and honestly many off them would be better off shambling harmlessly around being middle managers. I would imagine that eventually they would start to cause hygiene problems but then they could quite easily cleaned up and/or replaced.
This process also avoids all of the, shall we say, ikky problems of prions.

This is where you can tell the experts at charades from the beginners.
I did wonder if they went for the full body suits or just the antennae and stinger. I would say that full suited would be the way.
Perhaps a Grownup Big Sister might have an interest in that question?
Who is to know that the Big Sister isn't a charade?
aphane, an aphid window pane.
Big Sister is definitely evidence-based.
All I can say is that if people want to pretend to be wasps then I wish they wouldn't hang around the Old Entomologist. There are specialist venues for that kind of pervy activity, with barstaff dressed up as orchids and everything, or so I heard from a friend.
When the female wasp is ready to lay her eggs, she seeks out a cockroach.
Who doesn't I ask you?
I'd like to discuss this further, but first it's breakfast time and I'm gonna go scramble up a few wasp eggs.
Yum...
A quite reasonable conclusion, herr smut. I support this research.
I am certainly available to help in the zombification.l

They joined a snooty country club.
