Seriously high quality episode, it has the creep factor.

Oh boy, this was good.

I really don't like insects, I have a real phobia of large insects, so for me, this episode is up there with Emasculata, this really did gross me out.

Imagine Midnight Express with a sci fi twist...

It's almost funny at parts, you have Scully constantly being cut off, and almost.travelling, and of course you have Bambi, and her heaving bosom. The first meeting between her and Mulder is very funny.

The term Katsaridaphobia may not be on the tip of everyone's tongues, but it's a rational, common fear of the little critters, it applies here.

The writing is great, the direction is terrific, I love the interplay between Mulder and Scully, both are at their very best.

'This is not place for an entomologist,' such a great line.

This was great, 9/10.
