No bug shortage here.

    According to the MSM, too few bugs is a problem. Too many bugs is a problem. Everything is a problem. And whatever you, don’t just enjoy the Summer.

    Exactly lol. They want insects? I’ll stick them in the middle of the Florida swamp in the middle of this heatwave. They can research them all they want.
