The Japs used to take a particularly vociferous type of spider, place it over a POW's taped open eye, place a hard walnut shell over both the spider/eye. Then, using a hot flame, heat up the walnut till the heat got too much & the spider would eat its way inside the POW's eye/head.

My grandfather was a WWII Marine. 1943 to Okinawa. He was a real big fan of the Japanese.

Truth is-- and I'm glad to be able to say this-- he had at least one very close lifelong [100%] Japanese American friend. But regarding the commissioned and/or enlisted Japanese male of the pre-1946 era he did hold some issues.
