What's Bugging You?

Have you ever wondered just what exactly is hiding behind all of the facades around the Disneyland park? This last month the InsidEar explored behind the scenes and made a rather surprising discovery.

It seems that behind all of the properties owned by the Walt Disney Company is a little dark secrets: Beetle Rot!

The culpret? The boring beetle: beatalis eisninoris michaelis lechivorus

This insidious creature certainly lives up to it's name, we observed them for hours and they are as boring as ever. It seems that this subtle infestation began sometime in 1984, and for over 20 years the uninteresting beasties have been quietly destroying the very foundation of the company. A Disney spokesperson dress in full beekeeper’s garb tells us that the company is well aware of the beetles and assures us that they were removed at the end of September. (Apparently, it was a slow process as ASPCA protests made it necessary to relocate the insects to a preserve in Valencia instead of eradicating them.)

However the InsidEar would like to point out that a great deal of damage was done over the years and much of it is going to take many years to fix. At least this will close the book on a very sad chapter of Disney history.
