the fact humans think its possible to have an entirely animalless/bugless zone is such hubris and such a dangerous thing to try to pursue in general. life would be so much easier if you learned to coexist with the nature around you instead of constantly try to shove it out, an ultimately fruitless endeavor.

#is destroying the environment ecosystems and habitats and killing endangered and soon-to-be-endangered-via-your-actions creatures #and plants really worth it. especially since you need those creatures and plants to survive since they're the only reason you #have any food to begin with....?#especially bugs since they pollinate the fruits and veggies you and the other animals eat and since you're probably someone who #eats some of those animals- yeah you're kinda gonna wanna prioritize the wellbeing of pollinators if you wanna keep eating meat too #to be clear: im not saying just let bugs exist in your house or something (though i do think its beneficial to keep spiders since #they kill other bugs- but i digress) what i am saying though is to act surprised or like they're out of place being inside is dumb.#they think its a cave or something. they dont know or care about the difference.#and also- ESPECIALLY dont act surprised or offended when theres a lot of bugs outside. thats kinda where they gotta be.#that's where they should be. thats a good sign if you're seeing and hearing a lot of bugs.#see it as the boon it is. it means the environment is healthy.#unless its like. mostly pest bugs. then the env probably isnt healthy.#oh also- get used to and fall in love with weird and creepy bugs bc theyre usually the ones that eat the pest bugs you hate.#but a bunch of cicadas? healthy. a bunch of bees and butterflies and weird stick bug type bugs and assassin bugs and jumping spiders #and LOTS of beetles and such? healthy.#a lot of gnats and mosquitoes and flies? unhealthy. flies aren't always a bad sign though if theres also a bunch of bees or w/e #bc flies are also a pollinator. i saw a bunch on my goldenrod when it was turning winter and it was cute imo
