19. You live in a world populated by an endless variety of insects

how can you avoid them all? Really, I'm just wondering. My daughter is like you and hates all things buggy.

I kinda think bugs are neat in their own way. For the longest time, I thought this weevil type bug was eating up my garden. I looked it up and found it was the lady bug larva. Who knew the lady bug immature phase is a red and black dragon with horns, (on a very small scale). Then there were these huge maggots I would find in among the manure and wood chips piles. I mean these maggots could have been the caterpillars for Mothra. But they turned out to be dung beetle larva. Then there are these fly maggots that can compost everything from crap to tomatoes and then can feed your chickens when they are done.

Ok, so I'm starting to realize why my daughter has a bug phobia.
