| Description: | CAUGHT BY THE CAMERA (NO. 58) A wasp nest destroyer Several shots of a man putting a muslin cover over his head, pouring poison into the ground. We hear that he is a wasp destroyer, and has been hired by a nearby chocolate factory to get rid of a wasps' nest. The man rolls over in the grass around the nest - I'm not sure why - to squash escaping wasps? Or to coat himself in wasp poison? He then beats any remaining wasps with a sack and digs up the nest. On a table we see him taking the nest apart, as lots of dead wasps fall out. | |
