As seen on PBS...

Bud N' Mary's helped do a film shoot about 5 years ago documenting some of the scientific research of E.O. Wilson and his theories on evolution. At some time in the 60s he went out to an isolated mangrove island in the Florida Keys. He created an inventory of all the species of insects and such on the island, then literally tented the island and exterminated it with poison gas. He wanted to see which species of insects would come back first, in what numbers, and so on. Anyways, what we did was help recreate this experiment for a documentary that just aired the other night on PBS (finally). You can check the clip out here and see myself (Ricky Stanczyk)(driving a boat). You can also see some of Bud N’ Mary’s, and the coherts I work with (the barn dogs! Sparrow, Sailboat Mike, and Bucky) Fast forward about half way through the video to see the part where they are driving up the bridges in The Keys and our part is soon after that!
