How many bugs have you swallowed?

[PeteXXX]

How many bugs have you swallowed whilst cycling around so far this year?

I'm up to 5 so far. Mainly the lumpy black one's that jump out of fields once the Rape Seed flowers.

Ya can't swallow them and can't ya cough them up!!

Now there's a debate... spit or swallow?

Loads. You can get a full meals worth if you cycle past a sewage treatment works.

Any idea as to her rationale in choosing to ingest this particular Diptera?

Her imminent demise is a likelihood.

Her imminent demise is a likelihood.

Undoubtedly, especially considering her supposed liking of arachnids as well

It is noted that she also has a fondness for the ingestion of Felis Catus, also .

Are we to be dogged by bad jokes?
Will they continue until we are cowed into submission, or will someone become horse and simply have to give up?

Good news... and bad

To get the equivalent to the calories of a Mars Bar you need to ingest about 250 grammes of insect.

The average fly weighs about 0.03 grammes, so to make it worth swallowing, you need to ingest some 8000 flies.

The good news is that you can safely ingest s few without putting on weight!

Two or three I'd guess.

In the past I've been stung on the lips twice by wasps. Some women pay good money to have their lips look really swollen like that, although in my case the effect was rather asymmetrical and temporary.

I don't know, but I rescued a beetle at Asda earlier. There it was, crawling across the floor (between the dairy and meat aisles) so I picked it up before someone stood on it and took it outside to some plants they were selling beside the entrance.

All creatures deserve respect, be it the humble earthworm or the mighty tiger! (I doubt you will get many tigers at Asda, but you get the jist).
