Kung-fu master Hu Shulin spends his days literally swatting flies — sometimes up to five at a time — using his lightning-fast reflexes at the Yu Yao meat market in Shanghai in China. What is your best insect despatching story?

Mine is a little more boring and a bit more embarrassing. I hate flies and I could not get rid of this one. I was standing in the middle of the room with a can of flying bug Raid, just trying to catch it. I was in full Kill mode and not paying attention to what I was doing. The fly flew between my face and my hand with the Raid. What did I do? Yup. I sprayed myself in the face with Raid.

Hello singwell, Yeah,thats pretty good,but i don t know if you get it there in Australia but on America s funniest Video s there is one piece about this kid about a year old sitting in its highchair intently looking at this fly that has landed on the highchair tray.This little kid scoops up that fly in one shot and then pops it into his mouth.So i figure that this little kid will grow up to be much faster than the Martial Arts dude,unless this kid dies of food poisoning first.

i had a fly in my room once and it was bothering me at my computer while i was talking to my girlfriend. needless to say this irritated me alot. i got out of my chair shut the door to my room essentially trapping the fly and me in and grabbed a bowie knife. i stalked the fly around my room and swung aat it every time it got near. after about 30 swings i hit it and saw two pieces of fly fall. i look down and i had cut the fly in half.

In the early 1800's the Japanese sent representives to the US. to visit the white house, while traveling on horse through the west they stoped to make a camp just befor night, while sitting around the fire a cowboy complained about the stinging insect bothering him, and in one very fast action the samurai made a draw of his tanto tnd then said no more insect. The samurai was carrying a sword to be presented to Teddy Rosevelt.

When I used to do archery as a kid I hit a bee at 100 mtrs. Of course I said I had aimed at it....

This sounds a bit odd but I don't kill insects if I can possibly avoid it. The way I see it they are just another life form going about their business. I am one of these people that will shoo a fly out of a house rather than kill it. Which takes a great deal of energy and patience but I feel terrible if I kill anything. I have spent entire evenings chasing spiders with a piece of card and a glass to no avail... Of course there is the sanitation issue with flies etc so if I have to kill them I will (just as I will take antibiotics if I have to) but I try not to wherever possible.

There was this wasp buzzing around the reception desk at our kwoon upsetting people I was talking to. I swatted it in half with a baton.

I tried drowning a HUGE spider for 2 hours under the net in my pool once. It got out from under the net swam to the surface and got out of the pool... I said to myself... If I don't kill this motherfuc*er, he will come and get me. Anything that can stay alive that long and escape needs to die. SO I smooshed him with the net.
