Another technique to moisten the grafting tool is to stick it in your mouth
prior to going for the next larva. The saliva does a good job as a
lubricant, and if you should make a mistake with a larva, you just pop it
and the tool in your mouth, enjoy a taste of larva, get a bit of protein in
the bargain, and go for another with a pre-moistened tool. Saves both time
and motion.
