No bugs for Blixen?

Out of Africa has been my favorite movie for years (the only problem I could see with it is that Robert Redford pretty much plays himself, rather than Denis Finch-Hatton).  But then I moved to Africa.  And I realized Redford wasn't the only unbelievable part of that movie.  Meryl Streep only kills one bug in the entire movie, and that's when she is camping in the bush.  That's not the Africa I know:(
