The next time a big black flying bug does a flyby in your face, remember the jobs they do. They are the cleanup crew, the pizza delivery drivers of the insect world (shipping dead stuff around), and the accidental comedians. They aren’t out to sting you without reason, and they definitely aren’t organized enough to attack in a swarm.
You don’t have to love them. You don’t have to invite them to your barbecue. But maybe, just maybe, you can appreciate them for the clumsy, useful, and slightly fascinating creatures they are. And maybe, you can save the magazine for actual reading. Give the big black bug a break. It’s just trying to find a light, a meal, and a quiet place to land—which, honestly, isn’t so different from the rest of us.
