well the other day I was net fishing with my nephew, and I saw a ladybird in the river, I scooped it out with the net =) *warm fuzzy feeling*

A few weeks ago, I was on my way home from therapy, it was SCORCHINGGGG hot, there was a snail moving across the pavement, poor thing, I picked him up and put him in the shade on a nice crispy green leaf...saved.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPERRRRCUTE:

WHEN INSECTS ARE STRUGGLING TO DO SOMETHING AND YOU HELP THEM

Picture this; You’re biking down the leaf-slicked sidestreets of your hometown when you suddenly lose your balance and fly head first over the handlebars straight into the curb. You smack it hard and are left lying in a twisted mess of bike chains and bloody legs.

But then! Just as the shock is setting in and you start getting your bearings, the clouds above you suddenly part and a giant hand reaches down from the heavens and picks you up and sets you on your feet. Then the hand zooms away and you’re left standing in the middle of the road all dazed and confused.

That’s what I picture it must have felt like to the upside-down beetle I flipped back over the other day. Yes, he was just lying on his back like a fool, arms and legs frantically pawing the air in a terrible attempt to flip over. Well I flicked him a bit and he flipped over before scampering away to safety.

Hey, sometimes insects just need our help.

Next time you release a fly from its Between-Sliding-Glass-Doors Prison or let a bumblebee banging its skull against your bedroom window buzz away, just stop to enjoy the moment of helping a fellow living thing out. After all, we’re all sharing the same planet, we’re all sharing the same sun, and it’s great helping an insect do something, so it can get its doing something done.
