His focus is on ants, bees, and wasps, the triumvirate of stinging insects. The insects are both prey and predator. Honeybees and fire ants sting to protect their homes. On the other hand, tarantula hawks (a wasp) stink to paralyze their tarantula prey so they can drag it home to be eaten alive for weeks as their eggs develop into pupa. I sure hope tarantulas don’t feel pain or have awareness because the larvae feed on them while alive and they don’t die until they develop into pupae and eat the brain and nerve cells. It’s so gross.

It’s just so beautiful, and so bleak and sad. There’s no love in the book. I don’t think the guy was in a good place when he wrote it. I couldn’t have written that book in a million years, but I’m sort of glad I couldn’t. Siskel, Gene (December 28, 1973). "A return to the basics called care and skill". Chicago Tribune.

Tommy from as soon as we meet him, I knew was a good lad. His home life isn’t the best and is about to get even worse. My heart broke for him and his sisters for what they have to go through, more so for Tommy. For fans of old-timey con men and even older-timey music, nothing beats The Sting. Here are some details about the film that may have escaped your attention when you were being misdirected. 1. PAUL NEWMAN’S ROLE WAS WRITTEN FOR AN OVERWEIGHT, OVER-THE-HILL SLOB, AND WAS A MINOR CHARACTER. The characters are believable but not always likeable. The motivation for their actions is always clear. This story does highlight the horror of child abuse, which is never an easy subject to read, but it is dealt with sensitively. The abuse the two main characters suffer is integral to their future character development and initially defines the adults they become.Billboard 200 Albums - Year-End". Billboard.

The case of Daniel Morcombe is quite possibly one of the most heartbreaking and deplorable crimes ever committed in this country, kidnapped on the way home from getting a haircut by a previously convicted child predator, he was sexually assaulted (suspected anyway, the killer never admitted to sexually abusing him) and eventually murdered by the psychopath, it was over 8 years later that the remains were found and the killer brought to justice. 8 years of hell for the poor family, never getting closure and never knowing what happened to their much loved son and brother. This book is not for the faint hearted, I'm a pretty tough cookie but I found myself more than once having to put the book down and take a break, the author lays the facts down as they are, she never shies away from telling it like it is which is really quite hard to read at times due to the graphic nature of the crimes however I think she did an amazing job researching and writing this heartbreaking story. For those of you within and outside of Australia, who do not know the name Daniel Morcombe, then this book will tell you why it is important his name be remembered. As a veteran of lazy Sunday afternoons going down random YouTube rabbit holes, I’ve watched my share of people getting deliberately stung by insects.
