by roboticist and author Rodney Brooks. Morgan was also inspired by Orson Welles's 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells's book The War of the Worlds (which had caused mass hysteria), with the episode's title being a direct reference to the novel (with the last part of the episode's title, "coprophages", referring to a dung eater). The town featured in this episode also takes place in—Miller's Grove—is a play on Grover's Mill, the setting of Orson Welles's 1938 radio adaptation. Originally, a scene featuring the sheriff discussing a noted case of hysteria from the 1930s was planned to be included in the final episode, but was cut due to time. The episode, like Morgan's previous effort, the second season's "Humbug", used a great deal of humor, including an in-joke where Scully reads Breakfast at Tiffany's, referencing a question on Jeopardy! that had been asked when David Duchovny appeared on the show. The show's animal trainer, Debbie Cove, used around three hundred cockroaches for the production of this episode, and of these hundreds, only one died during the filming, although it was due to old age. Director Kim Manners was very pleased with the way the cockroaches 'acted', noting that "every shot I wanted to get, they got." (Cast and crew members humorously recalled that Manners even began giving orders to the insects, with cinematographer John Bartley saying, "when I saw Kim Manners talking to a bucket of cockroaches, that was a highlight for me.") Several "incredibly detailed" rubber cockroaches were also created for the episode to supplement the live insects. These props were designed by prop master Ken Hawryliw and "could [be] put ... next to a real roach and no one would know the difference." "Piles and piles" of faux-dung were also created for the show by using an organic, feces-free substance. The episode came under heavy criticism by the standards and practices department at parent network Fox, who took exception to the initial script's heavy use of words such as "crap" to refer to the excrement that episode's cockroaches fed upon. Darin Morgan later attacked and parodied this approach in the twenty-first episode of the second season of the American crime-thriller television series Millennium called "Somehow, Satan Got Behind Me". In the episode, a network censor again targets the use of the word "crap" and storms onto the set of a show resembling The X-Files being taped, featuring lookalikes
