I used to pull off the proboscis (the tongue) of butterflies & rub off their scales. I also used to break off the hind legs of grasshoppers. Once I also spit on this grasshopper & watched it dry in the sun dying..I thought it would feel like a similiar fate if I pissed on it like acid.

Don't get me wrong, I love nature but who wasn't a bit mischievious as a kid?
