July 03, 1989

Transcript:
Calvin: Mom took me to the library today, Dad. Dad: That's nice. Did you get out a book? Calvin: Yep. It's great! I had no idea books could be so much fun. Dad: And you'll learn things, too. Calvin: I'll say! My book says that this one wasp lays its egg on a spider, so when the egg hatches, the larva eats the spider, saving the vital organs for last, so the spider stays alive while it's being devoured! Gross, huh? Dad: Isn't there a street corner where he could hang out instead? Calvin: And color pictures, too! Want to see 'em?

Just wait until Calvin discovers hyperparasites, that is, there are parasitic insects that breed in other parasites. Don’t look it up. The pictures are not pretty.
