    MIMIC As a child i have always been fascinated by the worlds of insects. Growing up here in the philippines i was exposed to a lot of them at a young age. Almost all the pinoy kids love spider and spider fighting wherein you pit to spiders and let them fight or eat themselves while hanging on a barb-q stick, sorta like cock fighting. we also pit beetles against each other, we stick them back to back witha piece of gum and place them both side ways on a table and watch them wrestle. whoever gets back to his feet first is the winner. Kids also enjoy catching dragonflies, we even have 2 classifications for them; the tutubing karayom (needle dragonflies) are the small ones and tutubing kalabaw (carabao dragon flies) the bigger red orange ones. You gotta have certain skills to catch a dragonfly, one of the basic is sneaking behind them once they are perched on a grass, but this sort of technique requires you to be stealthy and fast, also this is a risky technique if you grab them by the tail because they might retaliate and bite you. A more skilled dragonfly catcher would grab them by wings, although this is a little tricky because the wings of a dragonfly is quite spread out. A nifty way to catch them is by using toothpaste and apiece of stick or twig. You simply place a small amount of white toothpaste a the end of the stick and just wait for a dragon fly to perched on it, they will end up being trapped by the stickiness of the toothpaste.  We had lots of fun with insects. So when this movie came out in 1997 all the kids in my neighborhood got spooked really bad. The movie Mimic tells a story about an entomologist, Dr. Susan Tyler who genetically created an insect to kill cockroaches carrying a virulent disease. The insect was called the Judas Breed a large insect looking like a cross between a termite and a praying mantis. They release some sort of enzyme which increases the metabolism of the roaches and kills them. The Judas Breed insect work spectacularly and the crisis was abated. Since the Judas Breed have been also designed to produce only one male species able to breed, an they kept it in their care, the hybrid species should die out in a matter of months. Three years later, people begin to go missing in subways and tunnels under the city. The Judas Breed insects have evolved. The film is directed by Guillermo Del Toro and stars Mira Sorvino and Jeremy Northam.
