Don't touch the frog. Mark Moffett, previously discussed here, tells the humorous story of how he went to a remote Columbian valley and photographed a very deadly frog.

Sorry, but the misspelling of Colombia is a peeve of mine

Very entertaining, thanks for the post.

Looks like he does, among other things, Late Night and The Colbert Report.

That was excellent. I guess mosquitoes the size of airplanes must be such a common occupational hazard that they're not even worth mentioning.

How about a NSFA warning, huh? (Not Safe for anyone)

The linked video is about the birth of a botfly, and coud induce vomiting or unease in the squeamish.

I think that's more like getting goatcse'd by an entemologist.

I've forgotten how to spell goatcse. There is a god.
