The world of insects is as awe-inducingly mysterious as it is gross-out disgusting. Here, a YouTube clip captures a bug, laid out on his back, rolling a piece of popcorn with his legs over and over...and over...and over...reportedly for more than three hours.
Did the poor bug fall on his back, and in a terrifying Kafka-esque scenario, find himself unable to get up, trying in futility to use the popcorn to push himself upright (damn that miniscule bug brain!)?
Or does the clip capture the insect’s descent into madness, the kernel his unwitting instrument of impending insanity?
The answer, dear reader, is not for us to know. But watching this act of insect persistence is more riveting than it has any right to be. Behold: Bug and kernel!
