the little things |
I do a number of outdoorsy-type things, and consistently the
biggest concern isn't something like bears or rattlesnakes, but
insects and even plants like poison oak.
Depending on one's location, there are "killer" bees, ticks
carrying Lyme disease, fire ants, mosquitos with West Nile virus,
etc. It may be apocryphal to say that cockroaches will survive
a nuclear blast, but I don't doubt it.
There are only about 2200 species of mammals on the planet, and
more than half of them are bats. There are over three million
catalogued species of bugs (insects, arachnids, etc.), which is
perhaps only a fraction of the total. Just who (or what) really
has dominion over the earth?
