After a few minutes the bee woke up and started flying around. He could only fly as far as the string would let him.

It was pretty funny.

We did that to a fly once. We super-glued the fly to a matchstick and watched a match fly around the house for a few minutes before we felt sorry for the bastard and crushed him.

Yeah... That was awesome to see the string be extended apparently by itself when they showed it from a wider angle.
 
Why do you need to give a scorpion an advantage over a cricket???

It's already got claws and a stinger, and a cricket has... nothing.

Would crickets, bees, or flies survive if they were put in a freezer?

I guess it would depend on how long they were left in there. When I lived in Southern California, hordes of little black ants would somehow manage to find their way into our freezer. There would be big piles of them in the bottom corners. I never did figure out how they got in. I'd just vacuum them out and wait for the next wave. I never tried to defrost them to see what would happen, but I'm pretty sure they were quite dead.
 
Once I went for a 1AM glass of milk, and a moth flew into the fridge and landed on a package of bagels. I put the milk away and close the door. The next morning, I pull out the bagels to make breakfast, and after a while on the counter, a moth flies off of the bag of bagels. Nifty.

Hm... this may help with feeding my newt, but the frog needs no assistance. The newt has a tendency to move slowly though, but the crickets are generally stupid enough to stand right in front of him just long enough for him to lunge out at them.

One of my little leopard frogs, Pico (R.I.P.), used to stalk crickets commando-style. All the rest of them would hop around and catch the crickets with their tongues, but most of the time Pico would sneak up on them and leap on them with his mouth wide open. I think he thought he was a tiger. That was one kick-ass frog.
 
how do you get away with having a poisonous pet at the office..there is no way they would allow that where i work..

i dont think we can even have fish, i know we cant even have plants that bloom..people complained about them attracting insects that bit them and that they had allergies.
