Grissom (looking at beetle found at crime scene): Can I keep it?
Catherine: Sorry, evidence.
Grissom: Don't forget to feed him.
Catherine: I know. Wood
(On the phone, talking about a body covered in fire ants, but Grissom's already on a case)
Brass: Reconsider, bring bug spray.
Grissom: No bug spray.
Dr. Robbins: And how does an entymologist feel about putting ants to death?
Grissom: I view them as martyrs in a scientist's holy war.
Brass (Looking at a body covered in ants): Man or woman?
Grissom: Ant hill. They're using this body as a colony site. I'm going to
have to take this box and the specimen back to the lab as is. These insects are evidence.
Brass: You know, I heard that these things (fire ants) can kill a deer - is that right?
Grissom: Well, with enough colonies, they can kill people.
Brass: What about our person?
Grissom: Well, only if they also learned how to put him in a box and dump him in a ditch.
Episode 4.06 Jackpot
Lt Brooks: Let me guess, you like bugs?
Grissom: Yeah, I do. They're perfect. They always do their jobs. (looks at Brook's officers)
Lt Brooks: Hey Einstein, we going to stand out here all day or what?
Grissom: You're going to have to be patient, Lieutenant. The scene hasn't been released yet. You know, this may be a variation on an old native American form of punishment. The body was bound and buried up to its neck. Tree sap was
poured over the head to attract ants.
Lt Brooks: Punishment for what?
Grissom: You see? That's a good question.
Lt Brooks (as Dale appears): It's about time, Dale.
Grissom: You're the coroner, I presume.
Dale Sterling: Mr. Grissom. Dr. Dale Sterling. I sent you the head. How can I help?
Grissom: Well, we can't touch the body until you authorize it.
Dale Sterling: Oh. (looks at the decapitated corpse) He's dead. You're authorized
Episode 4.09 Grissom versus the volcano
(looking at a science project volcano)
Catherine: In fifth grade I built one of these as my science fair project, it was awesome. First place should have been mine, but they ended up giving it to this kid with some lame red ant colony. (Grissom is smiling)
Grissom: Yeah, only my ants were black Argentineans.
Catherine: Uh-huh.
Grissom: I learned at a very early age that the bugs always win.
Catherine: Right. That was you!
Episode 4.11 Eleven Angry Jurors
Dr. Robbins determines that Gibbons didn't die of a food allergy, and that if it were something environmental, then some of the other jurors would have reacted too. He examines the body and pulls a stinger out of one of the puncture wounds. Grissom tells Sara that they're looking for another body; they return to the jury room and search the floor for a bee; Sara finds it by the table leg. She comments that Mr. Jervis complained about the heat in the room and opened the window, and that's how the bee got in

(Looking at the first victim, a young body)
Grissom: You want to know what killed this kid? Benihana the maggots.
Warrick: What the maggots?!
Episode 1.04 Pledging Mr Johnson
(Catherine walks in to see Grissom looking at a spider)
Catherine: New pet?
Grissom: The African Red Baboon Tarantula---the most feared of all arachnids. But basically harmless.
Catherine: Yeah, well just keep the lid on it, okay?
Grissom: I think you scared him. All his hairs are standing up.
Catherine: If you're through amusing yourself I have some news on the boat.
Grissom: Was it at the Marina?
Catherine: What do you think?
Grissom: My spider sense says it wasn't.
Catherine: Right. We need to find the boat.

Episode 1.10 Sex, Lies and Larvae
Sara: I hate bees.
Grissom: Just paper wasps. They're having too much fun to worry about us.
Sara: I never get used to this part, you know when the bugs get going.
Grissom: Just doing what god intended, recycling us back to the earth.
Grissom (collecting bugs and he names them): John... Paul... George... Ringo.
Sara: Beetles. No alkali fluids in the dirt so she wasn't killed here. Whoever dumped her must have been in a hurry. Didn't take the time to bury her. What do you think?
Grissom: Have you got any of that beef jerky you're always gnawing on?
Sara: You can eat?
Grissom: I want to keep these little fellas alive. They're our first witnesses to the crime.
"I I.D.'d her through AFIS and located her husband."
"Let me guess, downtown? The Freemont district?"
"You know, I'm not even gonna ask."
"Synthesiomyia Nudiseta is the Latin name."
"It's a muscid fly. Only breeds in urban areas, but Grissom found one our girl, which means she was probably killed downtown, and then carried into the mountains."
-- Jim Brass, Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle
"Okay, bear with me. I mean, you're one of only ten guys in the country who understands this stuff."
"I think there's at least fifteen, but go on... What don't you get?"
"Insects arrive at a corpse in a specific order. Right?"
"Like summer follows the spring."
"And you can pinpoint time of death, based on the type and age of insects present on the body."
"I watch the insects mature. From eggs to larvae to adults. Then count backwards."
"Linear regression."
Grissom: You've still got to convince a jury.
Sara: On guns. It's got to be better than bugs. Less Latin
Brass: So, you planning a little late-night luau? Roast pig?
Grissom: It's an experiment. Maybe Kaye was dead five days.
Brass: I thought your bugs never made mistakes.
Grissom: They don't. People do. The victim was wrapped in a blanket. Normally a blanket or clothing doesn't impact insect maturation. The insects usually fight their way in anyway. But I examined the folds in Kaye's blanket. She was wrapped tight---maybe tighter than I realized---which would have decreased the corpse's exposure to insects
Brass: So it took longer for the insects to get in there?
Grissom: And deposit their eggs. Maybe two whole days. I've wrapped porky here pretty tight.
Brass: Well, let me ask you this. You killed a pig just for this?
Grissom: This poor ham was already on its way to someone's Christmas dinner
table.
Brass: Wouldn't a rabbit be easier?
Grissom: Gotta be a pig. Interestingly, they're the most like humans.
Brass: Yeah, I've been saying that since I was a rookie. You're on your own, pal.
Sara: I hate bees.

Episode 1.19 Gentle, Gentle
(Grissom's examining the baby bed when Warrick comes from outside the window and startles him)
Warrick: You see this spiderweb?
Grissom: (jolts upright) Damn, Warrick!
Warrick: I'm sorry. Your ticker okay?
Episode 1. 21 Justice is served
"Think of the bugs, Grissom. Cycle of life. Angels versus insects. When we die the fable we tell ourselves is we go toward a white light and angels. But you and I both know the hard reality is that insects arrive immediately and begin turning us back to earth."
"Yes. But the insects haven't killed anyone."
"No. But they'd die if they didn't have bodies to feed off of. And so will I."
-- Susan Hillridge and Gil Grissom

Episode 2.01 Burked
(Walt has a bug bite on his leg)
Grissom: Would you mind if I took a picture for my bite collection?
Walt Braun: Whatever rubs your Buddha.
Grissom suggests that Nick put clear nail polish on his chigger bites to stop the itching. As many folks who work outside know, it's a very effective cure. It has been known to work when even Calamine lotion hasn't helped.
Greg: Oh, is that alcohol on a bug bite? That's like butter on burns, man. Wives' tale.
Nick: Yeah, this is the guy who told me to put hemorrhoid cream on my acne.

Episode 2.05 Scuba Doobie-Doo
(Seeing a bug at a crime scene)
Grissom: Dermastidae masculatus.
(Suspect looks confused)
Sara: That's Latin for "You're hiding a dead body."
Sara describes the hole that a fly can navigate as "they can egress a space less than point zero zero one centimeters".
Sara: Flies don't spontaneously generate.
Sara: What do you got?
Grissom: Either Paul or John.
Sara:A very important beetle.
Grissom:The most important.
Silphid beetle which feeds on human decomposing flesh found while investigating the Clifford Rentoria case, which later leads to Warrick, Grissom and Sara investigating Mr Evans the apartment complex owner. His missing, later found dead wife is found hidden by Mr Evans in a second boiler in the basement.
When the theory of evolution was in its infancy, Lamark, Darwin's predecessor suggested that simple life forms, like maggots, spontaneously came into existence. He was later proven wrong by Francesco Redi, who proved that maggots don't appear when flies are isolated from the meat.

Grissom: Whoa. Careful. Livestock. (holds up his jar of roaches) Hissing roaches from Madagascar.
Catherine: Sorry.
Grissom: These babies run two and a half miles an hour.
Catherine: I don't doubt that for a minute.
Grissom: Fifth annual entomological convention in Duluth. Cockroach racing finals. (Grissom pushes the door to his office open and walks in. Catherine follows)
Catherine: You're roach racing.
Grissom: Actually, I'm giving a tutorial on preserving mass crime scenes. The sideshow is racing this guys.
Catherine: Ah.
Grissom: I mean, to have a chance to run against legendary roaches like Cocky Balboa, The Drain Lover, Priscilla, Queen of the Gutters. It's huge.
Catherine: What do you feed those guys?
Grissom: Dog food.
Catherine: And who's... supervising night shift?
Grissom: You are.
Catherine: Me? I am on the red-eye to Reno. The Braun Family is opening a new casino. I am Sam's date.
Grissom: That's tonight?
Catherine: I told you once, memo'd you twice. (she sighs. Grissom is distracted by the roaches in the container)
Grissom: Man, these guys are primed.
Catherine (leaving): Better get somebody.
"Hey, Griss. How'd it go?"
"The seminar was fine. Every one of my roaches got stage fright. They came in fourth, third, second and dead last."

(Upon finding an insect on the victim's clothes)
Grissom -It's a carpet beetle. It shouldn't be here.
Catherine -The vic seem more like a hardwood floors kind of guy to you?
Grissom -Carpet beetles are usually the last to arrive at a corpse, when only found on a body when its near becoming being a skeleton. This guy is still fresh.
(Looks up at skeleton hanging from tree, sees other insects on it)
Grissom -David! Get this body out of here right now! We've got cross-contamination!
Episode 2.23 The Hunger Artist
Sara: She literally means even. A large number of BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) sufferers are convinced that they're not symmetric. That one side of their body or their face doesn't match the other.
Grissom: All animals prefer symmetry in their mates. The male Japanese scorpion flies with the most symmetrical wings gets the most mates.
Warrick: So, really we're not talking about being beautiful at all.
Grissom: In terms of entomology being beautiful is about being even. It signals the fitness to procreate.
Nick: So, we're not really talking about looks. We're talking about survival of the species.

Episode 3.05 Abra Cadava
Zephyr: Abracadabra.
Grissom: "Abracadabra". That's a cabalistic charm said to be made up from three Hebrew words meaning, father, son and the holy spirit. You're the father who took his son's life...so that you could disappear and become the holy
spirit?
Zephyr: No. From caterpillar to cocoon. From cocoon...to moth. And from moth...to dust.

Episode 5.06 Whats eating Gilbert Grissom
Night. A blindfolded boy, in lacy bra and underwear, runs through the manicured, wooded campus of WLVU, pursued by three frat boys. The pledge trips, falls and slides near a maple tree. His pursuers stop, backing away in horror when they see that he has fallen into an undulating sea of maggots.
Grissom stands near the edge of the maggot "pond" and ascertains that so many maggots indicate the presence of at least a hundred pounds of flesh, as his flashlight catches the glint of a tooth with a shiny gold filling. Grissom and Nick find uniformly cut pieces of bone in the maggot mess. Grissom checks out the campus's industrial wood chipper, spraying pheno onto the machine's blades and getting a very light reaction. He uses a hematrace stick to confirm the presence of blood.
Grissom (to Eva): Do, uh... do you use scraps from the dining halls for your compost?
Eva: No. Why?
Grissom: Well, if the devil requires a pound of flesh, this many maggots would require over a hundred.
Eva: Pounds of flesh?
Grissom: Were you aware that the average college student weighs 135 pounds?
Mia: One maggot colada, coming up
When Grissom says "If the devil requires a pound of flesh, this many maggots would require over a hundred" he is again referencing Shakespeare; this time it's "The Merchant of Venice," in which Shylock demands a pound of Antonio's flesh as repayment for a debt
Episode 5.08 Ch, Ch, Changes
Brass: Lepidro. What kind of name is that?
Grissom: It's from Lepidoptera, meaning "butterfly." Walter Clancy started out a gender-dysmorphic caterpillar and turned into a bloody butterfly.
Brass: Love hurts.

Episode 5.16 Big Middle
A common blowfly flies through Rainbow Canyon and lands in a gaping hole that was once a human face. Over time, the body decomposes and dries as blowfly eggs hatch into wriggling larvae. Predatory Hide Beetles eat the larvae and take over the skull. Grissom picks up a beetle and tells David Phillips that the body has been there at least two weeks.
The CSIs find buckshot around the body, but no wallet or ID. The victim is wearing a ring that is engraved with "#12" and "AFFA," "Las Vegas Greenbacks"--a football league that folded twenty years before. The man was shot at close range with a shotgun.

Episode 5.25 Grave danger part 2
Nick Stokes id kidnapped and buried alive in this episode, and after a failed ransom drop the CSI's run out of clues to his whereabouts. Just when all hopes of finding Nick alive are about to dissipate, Grissom spots an unlikely clue appears on the web cast. The fire ants that begin to eat Nick alive turn out to be what save him from being buried alive.
(Seeing Nick start flipping out on camera)
Sara: He's losin' it. What's goin' on?
Grissom: Wait...(he sees something on the moniter and enhances it Ants, my god he's being eaten alive.

Episode 6.06 Secrets and Flies.
Ecklie summons Grissom to refute the testimony of an entomologist in a murder trial.
Catherine: So I understand that you're going up against Mark Thayer? The guy's an ass.
Grissom: Used to be a competent scientist. We actually co-authored a paper together ten years ago. I believe greed has gotten in his way.
Catherine: Well, I've seen him on the stand. He manipulates evidence.
Grissom: He manipulates people. The public assumes that scientists are ethical. But many of us are no better than politicians evidently.
UnderSheriff McKeen: What are you doing?
Grissom: Circling blow flies.
UnderSheriff McKeen : Why?
Grissom: Dead flies tell no lies.

Grissom: Actually the work was done in the lab.
UnderSheriff McKeen: You know, when I took this job, I heard alotta things about you. If you ever need a favor, if I can help you in anyway.
Grissom: You know, Sheriff, you could help me. I'm late delivering my team's personnel evaluations.
UnderSheriff McKeen: I'll tell Ecklie. He'll backdate your cost of living adjustments.
Grissom: Thank you.
UnderSheriff McKeen: So, Grissom, I'm not sure of you're ambitions but uh, if you're interested in taking on more responsibility maybe a promotion, I'd be glad to--
Grissom: You know, Oscar Wilde said, "Ambition is the last refuge of failure." I'm fine thanks
Episode 6.21 Rashomama
(Going through his flashback)
Grissom: "You'd think she'd know better than to wear white on the bride's big day." (reciting poetry as he's walking under the arch) Spring is but a song, Where love and laughter are not wrong. The blossoms of desire do belong, and harmonia axyridis fly along

Has anyone ever heard of the May Beetle that i think may be a native of just the UK? they are a bit like a larger version of a cockroach with a hardish kind of shell, they fly into light and flames at night. I haven't ever spotted them during the day, but i have experienced attacks of them during the month of May when i used to go camping and sit around the camp fire. They are like Kamekaze insects flying into fires, the light seems to attract them more. They really are a bit horrendous to experience at night flying around. Needless to say we don't camp during the month of My now!!! I just wondered if anyone knew anything about them or have come across them.
