On the other hand, it occurred to me today that I still have never seen a firefly or other biolumenescent insect and I went online to look up where to find them.  Apparently not often West of the Mississippi.  I missed my chance while we were in Arkansas!  Also, I found out that fireflies are carnivores, or at least omnivores.  That’s okay with me, as I like ladybugs and they eat other bugs, but for some reason I think it’s a little more gross in a firefly.  A lot of grossness in this post.

Speaking of bugs, one of my favorite bits of literature on the subject is a piece about spiders that exactly describes my feelings about spider webs.  It’s in Robert Fulghum’s book, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, which I have read and re-read and I consider it a treasure in humorous reading.  When I lived in my own place I kept it near my bed for reading when I had a bad day.  Definitely recommended reading.
