Root time Pass has 4 00:00:15,293 --> 00:00:19,053 Speaker 2: had a busy week indeed, running around the Nine Timas 5 00:00:19,093 --> 00:00:20,333 Speaker 2: and Makoto, Auckland, Yoda. 6 00:00:21,693 --> 00:00:25,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was really cool. Actually, we had thirty 7 00:00:25,453 --> 00:00:29,373 Speaker 3: teachers for Blake inspired that this. Basically we take them 8 00:00:29,373 --> 00:00:31,653 Speaker 3: all over the place in Auckland and north of Auckland 9 00:00:31,693 --> 00:00:34,653 Speaker 3: and Taffery and Newian places like that, and it's always 10 00:00:34,773 --> 00:00:37,813 Speaker 3: really lovely. I love it showing them all the Bugsay, 11 00:00:38,013 --> 00:00:42,133 Speaker 3: can't you imagine them? And then you get the questions 12 00:00:43,013 --> 00:00:48,973 Speaker 3: what good does a mosquito do? And beatles and what 13 00:00:49,173 --> 00:00:52,533 Speaker 3: I mean? Why you know what? Anyway, so I thought 14 00:00:53,493 --> 00:00:56,133 Speaker 3: let's do that. I did it for teachers basically, and 15 00:00:56,253 --> 00:00:59,533 Speaker 3: explain that all the creatures on the planet, all birds 16 00:00:59,533 --> 00:01:02,213 Speaker 3: and all that, they've all got their own little job 17 00:01:02,333 --> 00:01:06,133 Speaker 3: to do ecosystem services if you like, that's what they called. 18 00:01:06,853 --> 00:01:09,853 Speaker 3: And and I'll start off with a carpet beetal, which 19 00:01:09,893 --> 00:01:13,133 Speaker 3: of course destroys your carpet because it's made of wool, 20 00:01:13,773 --> 00:01:16,373 Speaker 3: and carpet whetels are the only creatures on the planet 21 00:01:16,413 --> 00:01:20,453 Speaker 3: that can digest keratin, which is what wall is basically. 22 00:01:21,053 --> 00:01:24,333 Speaker 3: And so if if you know, if if a sheep dies, 23 00:01:24,453 --> 00:01:27,733 Speaker 3: you know, if you like, the meggots will do the inside, 24 00:01:27,813 --> 00:01:30,093 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. But how do you get the 25 00:01:30,173 --> 00:01:33,333 Speaker 3: wall under control? Well you just call one one one 26 00:01:33,373 --> 00:01:36,893 Speaker 3: and the carpet wheetles come and do their toy. Do 27 00:01:36,933 --> 00:01:40,133 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? And do you have roaches 28 00:01:40,173 --> 00:01:40,693 Speaker 3: in your. 29 00:01:42,293 --> 00:01:42,693 Speaker 2: Yes? 30 00:01:43,093 --> 00:01:46,693 Speaker 3: Excellent, Well you must have spilled the spaghetti bolonn age 31 00:01:46,693 --> 00:01:51,213 Speaker 3: behind the stove, because all they do is they're cleaning 32 00:01:51,253 --> 00:01:53,933 Speaker 3: it up for you, and you know what, they do 33 00:01:54,013 --> 00:01:55,333 Speaker 3: it for free? 34 00:01:55,893 --> 00:01:58,853 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, there are some downsides. I don't know that 35 00:01:58,933 --> 00:02:01,973 Speaker 2: Missus Tame is particularly delighted whenever she sees a large 36 00:02:02,013 --> 00:02:03,813 Speaker 2: roach scurrying across the kitchen. 37 00:02:05,253 --> 00:02:07,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean, you know, you stand on it 38 00:02:07,093 --> 00:02:12,853 Speaker 3: if you want. It's not a big We're Julie, I 39 00:02:12,853 --> 00:02:15,493 Speaker 3: had a lovely one. Because there's a thing called a booklouse, 40 00:02:15,573 --> 00:02:18,373 Speaker 3: a book lie in pural. They make a ticking sound. 41 00:02:18,373 --> 00:02:20,693 Speaker 3: They're only a millimeter in size, and you'll find them 42 00:02:21,573 --> 00:02:25,253 Speaker 3: literally behind your television screen, but anywhere inside, and they 43 00:02:25,533 --> 00:02:27,733 Speaker 3: make a ticking noise. But the cold thing is what 44 00:02:27,773 --> 00:02:30,893 Speaker 3: they do in those particular places where they occurs. They 45 00:02:31,013 --> 00:02:36,773 Speaker 3: actually eat the microscopic molds inside your radio, your television 46 00:02:36,893 --> 00:02:39,333 Speaker 3: and all these other places, and they clean it up 47 00:02:39,373 --> 00:02:43,853 Speaker 3: for you. It's unbelievable. Yeah, tiger slucks, you know, tiger 48 00:02:43,853 --> 00:02:46,693 Speaker 3: slucks go to your cat bowl. They come in and 49 00:02:46,733 --> 00:02:49,453 Speaker 3: they slurp up all the milk and that sort of stuff, 50 00:02:49,773 --> 00:02:52,293 Speaker 3: and then the Indian meal moth. They go into your 51 00:02:52,333 --> 00:02:56,013 Speaker 3: pantry because they actually clean up all the mold and 52 00:02:56,093 --> 00:02:59,653 Speaker 3: stuff there as well, And I think good on them. 53 00:02:59,973 --> 00:03:02,373 Speaker 2: See you're always doing this. I'm not going to say 54 00:03:02,413 --> 00:03:04,893 Speaker 2: you're a contrarian rude. I would never seduce that for 55 00:03:04,973 --> 00:03:07,293 Speaker 2: a moment. But you always give us good reason to 56 00:03:07,373 --> 00:03:09,853 Speaker 2: love the things that otherwise in life people might go 57 00:03:11,053 --> 00:03:13,853 Speaker 2: with good reason to love the invertebrates in our world. 58 00:03:13,853 --> 00:03:16,573 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, sir.
