Reverence for Nature

It is not difficult to harness within
an awe of nature and her countless
creatures. To watch, fascinated,
as colourful dragonflies, night-flying
bats swoop in capture of mosquitoes
and blackflies ridding us of their
biting, pestiferous presence. How
captivating it is to witness pale moths
flitting about, their caterpillar-larvae
transitions another wonder of
nature's complex plan of existence.
The bait-and-trap consuming formula
of spiders, the busy pollen-harvesting
of bees and wasps, the prodigious
work ethic of ants fix our attention
and admiration. And then, the awry
presence of a housefly, daddy long-legs,
worker ant or wasp indoors sends us in
reeling panic to the utilitarian
functionality of an insect-deadly swatter.
