Darwin would be delighted!!

Evolution is well and present, I read that the Komodo dragons have been shaking people out of trees for lunch and munching on the flesh of the human menu. Nice to see David Ickes relatives are well.

Bees and ants work in teams and will sacrifice themselves for the good of the genetic pool, thanks Jade.

One piece really enlightened me was about the behaviour of the Locust, that rather large bugged eyed springy legged thing. Seems they are stimulated into a frenzy from neurotransmitter serotonin, which at heightened levels is like speed for locust's. They become wild and devour their way thorough anything, umm much like Drake Circus on a Saturday afternoon.
Maybe the link is missing after all, just the wrong species.
