Crawl into my parlour!

I guess light remains a fascination to the human eyes, it definitely does unto mine : a star, a lightning, the sun, the moon, the fire crackers of the night, the lamp and all the other forms of luminous decorations and tell me about the number of us who enjoy gazing at the night sky. A gush of joy surged into me as I saw a firefly twinkling about me.

I am now living in a habitat infested with insects of all kinds. They royally crawl into your parlour even without an invitation, as we struggle to co-exists, without bothering each other much, to live in harmony. Thanks to the number of trees around, there is a sprawling insect world teaming with life out there. As the evening falls one cannot ignore the air resonating with the sound of millions of crickets and god knows what else. There are too many different species of them living there, I can barely name a couple of them and the others are grossly either mites, or beetles, or bugs, or insects according to me.

We have the biting types, the stinging types, the sucking type, the harmless crawling types, the winged, the un-winged, the long jumpers, and of course also the seasonal types. Most of them make me irk and quiver and yes they are quiet annoying too.

There are also the exotic ones which puts a smile on your face. Let us try to identify a few of them, the top on any ones list possibly be a butterfly and definitely also a fire fly. Yes these occasionally -blinking-bulbous- airborne-creatures amaze me. I just figured out that I don’t know anything about the fire flies except for its common name. It is time to do the google people. AG (After Googling) Vani will be a little more bug-conscious person. Google bye till then.
