The Butterfly Palace, Inc.

[Richard Worth]

Oh, alright.  How about the classic:  bot flies laying eggs under 
your skin, then you can see first hand (first hand, then arm?) their 
progression as they grow.  I know more than one person who has had 
this happen.  The point was that we are so sheltered and many like it 
that way.  I suppose an earthquake could shatter the glass place, 
while inside, and cut someone to shreds or crush them.
Cheers,  Rich

PS.  A few years ago, a collecting group (Yes, COLLECTING GROUP, as 
in several people together with nets) in Ecuador found an 18 ft long 
Anaconda.  Very cool.
