0:02:26 > 0:02:30It might sound like they are greedy, but they are helping humans

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Without them, the world would be swamped with bugs.

0:02:35 > 0:02:43So, for that, you have to give them a thumbs up.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45This spectacular appetite forms a very important, if rather gross,

0:02:45 > 0:02:49part of the food chain.
