Insects

Notes

You should blame @stevenwesleyguiles for the #10in10 challenge.

See: http://fawm.org/forums/topic/4849/

I didn't do boss fight challenge. Not that you can tell because these are all crapcapella. Only my darling voice was used. I'm thinking of trying it again with a bottom-up approach and starting with instruments.

The concept was to blur the lines between political advertisement for insects and advertising jingles for insects, but some of them came off a little as PSAs.

Song-specific notes:

Grubworms

Humans can (and do) eat grubworms.

Centipede

Centipedes eat spiders.

Cockroaches

This is clearly a political advertisement. "Prop 48" was picked arbitrarily for the song, and should not be used as an recommendation to vote in one way or the other.

Box Elder Bug

The box elder bug will invade homes, but does not cause any harm.

Dung Beetle

As the elephant population has decreased, so has that of the dung beetle.

Mayflies

Mayflies only live for two days. They won't live to see retirement, so they shouldn't have to spend their time working.

Painted Ladies

Painted ladies eat cosmos.

Thrips

Some thrips create galls on trees.

Tarantula Hawk

The tarantula hawk is a species of wasp that provides a live tarantula to feed its young.
