| Description: | 14:00:31:- MS interview with Dwayne Jackson, PhD'd entymologist and curator of insects at Zoo Atlanta. Interview is conducted in a shady outdoor part of the zoo by Mike Lukas, TV host and comedian. They talk about the mating habits of milkweed bugs, bug behavior, cockroaches (are they seasonal? is there a proper name for them? are there any effective ways of killing them? are some genetically impartial to poisons and killing agents? why are they such intuned survivors? what about the public's pet understanding that roaches are capabale of surviving a nuclear holocaust?).
14:17:16:- CU of a large cockroach in a glass jar by Dwayne's side, zoom out to MS of him and Mike continuing the interview. They talk more about roaches: killing methods (cocoa and boric acid is a good one), if they can survive extended exposure to microwave radiation, etc. Cut to CU and ECU of Dwayne and Mike taking turns holding a Hissing Cockroach, a large African insect. | |
