"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, 
concentrate the mind on the present moment."
Buddha 
Look at that face! This little guy was peering over a cactus plant on my morning walk. What incredible creatures are out there. I love seeing all this detail. He was watching me and staying on guard. My favorite thing is when the insects relax around me and stop hopping away or flying off. Sometimes they just let me get within an inch of them and I just click away on my camera.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Max de Pree

    About insects ...

    "These small, six-legged creatures include bees, ants, flies, mosquitoes, grasshoppers, crickets, butterflies, cockroaches, termites, fleas, and beetles. Although some insects annoy us by spreading disease, damaging crops and household items, and biting people and pets, these represent only about 17% of all the 800,000 species.

    The rest of the insects serve a very valuable purpose in nature. These serve as food for birds, frogs, fish, and other animals; pollinate crops; destroy other harmful insects; give us honey, bees wax, shellac, and silk; and keep the land clean by feeding on dead animals and plants."
