The New York Times reported that some caterpillars mimic snakes to elude predators.
When some folks spy a caterpillar,
They shout out "Stomp her flatter! Kill 'er!"
Which some may do, but never I --
Some day she'll be a butterfly.

Fly, away
"Billions of hairy, reddish-brown 'crazy Rasberry ants' (named for a local exterminator) were swarming through the greater Houston area. 'They have nowhere to go, just running crazy wild,' said one resident. 'You know what it's like to sit down on the commode with crazy ants running everywhere?'"
(From Harper's Weekly)
We don't mind ants, especially; what bugs us is this:
Why
The fly?
Is this pest
A jest?
So ubiquitous!
It's iniquitous!
So numerous!
It's not humorous!
Millions!
Billions!
Octillions!
Or more.
What for?
