Bugs &

I love bugs. I love big bugs. I love small bugs. I love butterflies. I love moths. I love bugs that buzz. I love bugs that crawl. I love bugs that glide. I love bugs that hover. I love bugs that burrow. I love bugs that can flatten their body to be less than one millimeter tall in order to squeeze through narrow crevices and disappear forever. I can relate, as I am a bug, and I love myself. Especially the self I am when I am shedding my nymph exoskeleton and leaving it on the bark of a dogwood tree like an ornament. That version and the one in which I am a rotund caterpillar rolled up inside a dead leaf. God. Bugs are the best. Love 'em.

(Acknowledging the bugs here right now are all Lepidotera. Other orders of bugs will be joining in the near future!)
