How to Perform a Perfect Slime Attack: Lessons from a Worm
Imagine you've come across a slug-like worm just inching along, minding its own business.

A cricket wanders onto the scene, and you wonder if they are friends... and then suddenly this unassuming worm is firing two jets of slime straight at his 'friend.' The cricket, covered in sticky goo, has nowhere to run, and the once relaxed pace of this worm takes on a foreboding nature - a leisurely stroll to a crunchy cricket dinner.
