I came across an interesting tidbit of information the other day. It turns out that "mud daubers" (wasps that make houses from mud) are responsible for at least 2 major airline crashes in the last 33 years killing at least 223 people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_dauber#Involvement_in_Florida_Commuter_Airlines_accident http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_dauber#Involvement_in_Flori... One in 1980, and one in 1996... that we know of. Apparently these mud daubers love living in long cylinders. If they find one, say on a plane's uncovered instruments, they'll set up shop. If you look at it under the right light, mud daubers are approximately 1/20th as powerful and threatening as the world's terrorists of the last 33 years.
