Top Gear Quote
Jeremy: [Reading a book about insects to Hammond, who has a phobia of them] Ooh, the botfly. Now, this is a marvellous thing. The botfly cannot sting a human directly, but captures smaller insects, lays its larvae upon them and then releases them. If the smaller host insect then bites the human, the botfly larvae are impregnated into the skin. The larvae then pupates inside the skin, at which point they eat their way out and fly away. The BBC Natural History Unit reports the case of a man, who was bitten behind the ear, and was kept awake at night by the sound of the botfly larvae eating the flesh inside his head.
[Cut to outside Richard's tent]
Jeremy: [narration] Hammond did not have a good night.
Richard: [from inside his tent] What's that? Aaagh! Ah! Stick insects! Something's honestly landed on my head - oh, what is that?! There's something that just flew in my hair and it's squeaking at me and it's big...!
