A corrosive bacterium that hunts in packs and smells like rain

Aw. Warm fuzzies when I think of bacteria hunting in packs.

Absolutely love this... Very well cited (there are some news sites that I wish would do this). The posts are written in a very engaging, accessible manner. I will definitely spend some time poking around it.

Oh my god this is like catnip for me. I'm just going to wallow around in it for a while now, this looks awesome.

It just occurred to me that makes caterpillars floppy is kind of burying the lede here:

— Mr Hungry, I'm afraid you have mcf.
— makes caterpillars floppy? So I'm going to go all floppy like?
— Yes.
— That doesn't sound too–
— And then you'll die.
