Japanese Bug Fights


I found JapaneseBugFights.com while examining a Google AdWords Placement Performance Report, which essentially lists out AdSense publisher sites where Google ads have been placed. For a client running pest-control products, I found an unusually high conversion rate here on JBF.

This site is fantastic. There are over 30 videos, pitting fierce bugs of unspeakable ugliness against each other, with frantic Japanese commentary and unexpected outcomes.

Immediate takeaways:
-Scorpions are big pussies
-Always bet on beetles, beetles are nasty like the tanks of the arthropod phylum
-Crushing mandibles are a huge advantage
-Stingers are less effective than you'd think
-Getting your head gnawed off by a giant cricket (Round the 1st) would suck
