Insects: Exactly as cool as my kids thought they were when they were five and I was going "Ewwww!" to their weirdo interests.

Also reminds me of some anecdote or something of someone in like an Aborigine tribe in Australia who pissed off the local ant nest, laid a cloth over it while the ants were on a rampage and biting the crap out of everything, then used the clothe -- not inundated with ant bite stuff -- to treat someone's medical problem.
