a.k.a. "Bugs and Dads", this piece is about John May's insect museum, his love for his father, and the reflections of all fathers in all children.

(NOTE TO STATIONS: Be sure to frame this piece as "vintage," produced in the 1980s. While the content holds up fine, you need to note the fact that this story was made about 20 years old, so that you don't unintentionally mislead your listeners into thinking these are contemporary voices.)
