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.
