A Bug's Death

This parasitic wasp story is the hot story on the web, and it is indeed fascinating and lurid.
Speaking of bugs, yesterday I had to grab a quick dinner before running out to give a short talk, so I stopped at Republic in Union Square for the first time. Two bites into my noodle soup, a ladybug floated up to the top. I know they're supposed to be good luck and all, but not when their corpses are bobbing up and down in my broth. A surprised waiter took the bowl and had a chat with another waiter nearby about where it might have come from, all within earshot of me, the horrified customer. Turns out the ladybugs come from the bathroom. I got out of there before my mind could dwell on how the ladybug had journeyed from bathroom to kitchen.


Cute, when they're not in your soup
