:14:00
What, eating furniture and stuff?
That's gotta suck.

:14:03
No, no, no. Now
don't judge them too quickly.

:14:05
These guys were building castles
:14:06
when dinosaurs were
still wimpy little lizards.

:14:14
Now, say you're him.
We call it soldier

:14:17
Now, there is no way
that you would ever quit fighting,

:14:19
no matter how badly injured
you were.

:14:22
Its would be a battle to the death
:14:27
But, most insects don't kill
unless their territory is invaded.

:14:32
You just stun your prey up here.
:14:35
And then you drag it all the way
down through here to there.

:14:40
Into what's kind of like a pantry
:14:43
We eat it alive?
:14:45
Yeah. You're not really squeamish
about those kind of things.

:14:49
This is the nest
It's the heart of the colony.

:14:51
The big enchilada.
:14:53
Why?
:14:54
Well, if anything were to happen,
the entire colony would die out.

:14:58
I'd just bail and start my own.
:15:00
Well, you couldn't do that.
:15:02
See that big guy there?
Next to the queen?

:15:06
Look over there.
:15:07
He's the king.
:15:09
And out of all the nest
he's the only fertile male.

:15:12
He got a good deal.
:15:14
Yeah.
:15:15
It's a simple structure designed
for their survival.

:15:18
It's perfectly balanced
and it's very beautiful.

:15:21
Whatever peels your banana, lady.
:15:23
Do you wanna buy the butterflies
or what?

:15:27
You know what? You guys have done
a really good job.

:15:29
So, how about five bucks?
:15:31
- That's your best?
- I'm gonna show her the weird bug.

:15:34
Costs a dollar just to look.
:15:35
It's a really great bug
We got him in the sub-way.

:15:37
We kind of broke it a little.
:15:38
Okay. My best offer
ten bucks for everything.

:15:41
Plus a specimen jar
some tweezers, and some mounts.

:15:44
Deal.
:15:45
Are you crazy? This is the best
This is our meal ticket.

:15:50
Come on
Bug's almost dead, anyway.
