Little Worm

Miss Ladybird!

And, in places where there are worms, intestinal worms, cure the kids of their worms.

Small animals eat insects.

Little soft fluffy sleeper

Uh, green fly.

This bum here is my shadow.

Just wait till I get you, little pest.

Little larvae hatch out in fresh water.

Instead, we studied a little, tiny, round worm called C. elegans, which is just about the size of a comma in a sentence.

It's a little brain worm.

That seemed like a sort of a cheap shot.

He's managed to grab a tip of these worms.

Even a worm couldn't get through.

Little bugs, like in the water.

Then the little bugs got to be bigger bugs and sprouted legs and crawled up on the land.

How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?

How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?

Watch me like a bug under a glass, if they want to.

A fly, a worm or a small fish.

A poor little fellow that never meant nobody no harm.

I'm but a worthless worm, I'm not cast in the same mould.

And here comes the natural enemy, minute pirate bug, minute because it is rather small.

You just twist leaves, and you see a whole new world of minute insects, or little spiders of one millimeter, one and a half, two millimeters long, and you can distinguish between the good ones and the bad ones.

They feed on other little things. They feed on mosquito larvae.

But this is a nice, slender, very bad pest.

That little guy over there is a tardigrade.

What vermin some vermin are.

Well, so far only one connectome is known, that of this tiny worm.

How small can neurons get? Well, look at this interesting insect.

Do you know the story about the worm who loved a star?

Even here, there is another grower, you see, very interested in the bugs, the bad ones and the good ones, wearing this magnifier already on her head, just walking safely in her crop.

The pests that the standard seeks to control are typically insect pests and other pests and diseases vectored by insects.

This company, Synthetic Genomics, I'm involved with, created the first full synthetic genome for a little bug, a very primitive creature called Mycoplasma genitalium.

Don't make trouble, Miss Ladybird.

And if we spread those minute pirate bugs, the good ones, for example, in a sweet pepper plot, they go to the flowers.

Here, after all, is a narrative that neatly aligns the promise of prosperity with the struggle against injustice. As Pope Francis said on his recent trip to Latin America corruption is the moth, the gangrene of a people.

By the way, a meal for them for 24 hours is about five individuals of the spider mites, of the bad mites, or 15 to 20 eggs of the pest mites.

A small insect would reverse these priorities.

Because if you look closely at the beetle's shell, there are lots of little bumps on that shell.

I love the way that they can stare at a bug crossing the sidewalk.

Now you may say, Okay, so we're eating 500 grams just by accident.
