Literally had a dream once where I was dragged kicking and screaming into the jelly infested water of my local beach. Bluebottles (I know they're not related) also make regular appearances in my head. One dream I had I was at the beach, looked around and said "There are no bluebottles here, weird" only to turn around to see the beach festooned with them. I watched a family walk past me, only for a bluebottle the size of a small dog to run up to them on its tentacles and trip the couple's child over with its appendage.

Hello Ze Frank, still asking and hoping for you to please make a video about silverfish (the insect) and its natural predator, the house centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata)? I mean silverfish are everywhere but most people know nothing about them other than they are a pest. Even fewer people know about the house centipede. It's only about 2 inches long but has 15 pairs of legs. It looks like a dust bunny you'd find under a demon's sofa.
