Bugs are our next best friends
May 22, 2008

Bugs are our next best friend, and a lot of us don't even know it!
As Ruud Kleinpaste has quoted "We can learn  a lot from bugs". Some of the things that bugs did hundreds, maybe thousands of years ago, we have only known for a very short time. Such as a spider, who lives in desert sand dunes rolls down them like a wheel, to escape a parasitic wasp. Thus they probably knew the concept of the wheel, before we did. And cockroaches may be disgusting creatures to some people, but they are very ingenious bugs. They would probably survive a nuclear holocaust!! Anyway, I love all bugs, especially spiders. To me, they are a marvel, and their webs, are one of the most beautiful  things I have ever seen.
