 FOLKSTON, Ga. (AP) - Beside a murky pond in the Okefenokee Swamp, Ruud Kleinpaste points proudly as six swallowtail butterflies land on a patch of darkened dirt where he's lured them with his own calls from nature.
"I've been peeing in the same spot for days," says Kleinpaste, host of Animal Planet's new cable TV show "Buggin' With Ruud." "This ecosystem hasn't got many nutrients. So when you give them extra minerals in the form of whatever, the butterflies will come back and suck it up!"
Whether relieving himself to benefit butterflies, donating blood to mosquitoes or filming himself getting stung by killer bees, Kleinpaste will pull almost any stunt to spread his love for bugs.
