NCBuy Weird News: N.Z. Entomologist Is A P.R. Agent For Pests - 2004-06-03: "in the upcoming Animal Planet special 'The World's Biggest, Baddest Bugs,' he covers himself in 50,000 killer bees to show how the much-feared creatures can actually be quite nice.

Mind you, executing the stunt was no picnic: Kleinpaste admits he was so afraid one of the buzzers would turn on him that -- in his words -- 'I was sh*tting myself.'

Another bug-promoting stunt involved being stung by a Bullet Ant, a one-inch-long creature which defends itself with a sting that's supposed to feel like a gunshot wound. Kleinpaste spent 17 hours in agonizing pain, but says he's hopeful the stunt will teach people not to hate bugs just for defending themselves."
