I like to think that as gross as they may appear, they still serve a purpose :)

inconvenience/annoyance should not give us the right to kill a bug once you start, you begin to realize how friendly some of them are. my favorite are small milkweed bugs. they will crawl up on my desk while I work and just hang out with me. i still struggle with flies though ... god they are so fucking annoying

I'm studying insects because I love them and they bring me GREAT JOY and they're the most numerous and diverse animal group on the planet. Did you know that there is a fly that mimics bees and it is a pollinator just as important as bees. Did you know mosquitoes are pollinators. Did you know there's a millipede that grows moss on its back. The world is beautiful

This is an idea I’ve been coming back to a lot recently. Sometimes bugs come inside and that’s okay. I have to remind myself that outside bugs being inside is not some sort of cleanliness failure on my part. I’m very diligent about keeping my living space clean, but some things you can’t control. Bugs are just living their lives, and they don’t care about these structures we’ve built to separate ourselves from the elements. Sometimes I want to open the window while I work, but I don’t because I’m worried flies will get inside. But like... that’s okay!!!! I can handle a fly or two being in my space. I shouldn’t let that fear stop me from enjoying the fresh air, and neither should you.
