One time we went to a pet store and bought some feeder mice (for snakes) and duct taped them to a busy road in between stop lights..

Spiders aren't exactly insects, but once when I was in a lab, I saw a spider on the ground. I put it in a test tube and gave it a wild ride in a centrifuge. Somehow it survived. I was so amazed that I put a little bit of liquid nitrogen into the tube, and dumped it out back onto the ground, where it promptly shattered. Haha, that was good times.

HAHAHA! I've ought to try that.

1st experiment: Lets see how big of a splat on the inside of the garage door a grasshopper being shot out of a blow gun could make! :) Yes, they can make pretty good splat. Secondly I wanted to analyze what it looked like when a bug hit the cars windshield (from the outside of course). Well this of course was a lot of fun, and man those grasshoppers were MOVING before splatting. So I called my little brother out in the garage and shot him with a grasshopper a couple times, and then he shot me with on. We quickly ran out of grasshoppers so we kept going out and finding more and more and more. After about 2 hours of doing this our entire garage (inside of the garage door, the cars, and all the other "random" garage stuff") was COVERED in grasshopper bits.

When my dad came out and saw what we were doing he was PISSED hahaha.. I mean there was grasshopper bits on EVERYTHING. We had to spend the next whole day cleaning out the garage and the cars.

Sorry Mr. Grasshopper. :(
lol, that's DISGUSTING. I had a thread that discussed why most insects don't die when falling to the ground. That blowgun must've had some enormous pressure.
