Summary

Got porcupines eating your tires? Colin has a non-annoying quiz about annoying animal behavior. Karen takes inspiration from the Gros Michel banana and discovers other long-lost plants wiped out by blight. Take Chris' creepy crawly J! movie challenge, and we're giving these "Bugs on Film" two snaps around cocoon and back. And an UPDATE on a certain animal butt.
