Bugs Need HeroesThe Doodlebug (ANTLIONS)Amanda says she's never heard of this bug, but I know she has because it was on an episode of Kratt's Creatures that we watched as kids. However, it is nothing like either ants or lions. This puny predator puts its prey in pits! Tangents include pigeons, anime, and Jurassic Park vs The Hunger Games. Somehow, we never even mentioned the Sarlacc Pit from Star Wars.

Tangents include the film Jupiter Ascending, bald eagles, and Amanda opens a can of worms called the biological species concept.
