yep, I shared it.
When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you - then you know your nation is doomed.

In the 40% speed view, it looks like when the mite landed on the bee's leg, she jerked it toward her body (instinctive reaction), which gave the mite an easier jump to the abdomen.  The knee-jerk reaction gave the mite a leg up.   :shocked:
