I wonder how many bugs get killed daily. If you think about it, it is really sad when humans die in our life. We celebrate the life they lived and hold a big ceremony for their burial, but poor bugs don't really get anything but a big shoe crushing them. I was thinking about how dirty my windshield was when I drove to atlanta a couple of weeks ago. That is only a two and a half hour trip at most, and we are in the middle of January. I realize that all of that gunk on my windshield is squished up and splattered bug guts from the ride. Flying bugs were helplessly crossing the road when my car sped by and took their life right in that instant! To me, the thought of how many bugs die each day is insane. Especially before this class, I did not like bugs at all, but having taken this class it got me into thinking about how many bugs we kill each and every day. I know that they do not have the brains by any means that humans do. They do not know a whole lot about what is going on, and their life is short anyways but still! Realizing this, I might not be as inclined to kill every bug that I see anymore. Maybe instead I can pick them up and put them where they belong outside, or just leave them alone. I have realized in taking this class that they really do not do much harm to me, and although some of them are pests, a lot of bugs do great things for our environment. From now on I will try my best not to be a bug murderer, I will just let them live. As stupid as this sounds, I think I will feel like a better person!
