I just love spiders. This little guy was on the sleeve of a friend - before he jumps around trying to get it off him.
This bigger one is hanging on its web waiting for prey. If you look closely there's a few little fly or some kind of insects already trapped on its web.
This huge beetle is prone to turning turtle. Pity the poor guy, I just can't help but assist them to get upright again which reminds me of the story about the guy who keeps throwing starfish back into the sea. In that story, there is a season when there are thousands of starfish being washed ashore. This guy walks along the beach, picks up one and throws it back into the sea. Someone asked him why is he doing such a futile thing ? There are thousands of them and he surely will not be able to rescue all if that was his intention. To this, his response was, yes, there are thousands but at least there is the one that lives because I pick it up and throws it back into the sea... Just like Pi I suppose.
Sometimes, sometimes dealing with animals is easy. Their intentions are clear and there's no hidden agenda. Humans (well they appear to be) are another story. Full of hidden agendas, self importance and grandiose ambitions. I don't mind if they are smart, will even support them in their quest but those who thinks that they are smart, who delegates blame, demands respect (it is supposed to be earned) and talks without substance, pttthhhh.
That's why I love bugs I guess.

So I see that you have had your fair share of 'those kind' of people. I tried helping someone of that 'calibre' once. Just not worth it. In the end, that person insulted me for trying my best. Very disheartening.
I like that story about the starfish. It is true that we cannot save everyone but if we can make a difference with one life, we have made a difference, nevertheless. Very much like Pi Bani's work.
great post. I love spiders. I like their work ethic and persistence. Your observations on the human animal ring all too true.
Did someone just pick me up and threw me into the sea?!

Say bro', bugs aside, hope you're feeling better...
Nice for you to acknowledge Pi.. she really is special you know. Her brother is just one year my senior masa hostel.
Salaam, please recover in time for FG Cap!
jt, yes, and am really getting tired of those kind. The worst part is that ignoring them will not make them go away...
lm, true but sad and sometimes irritating as hell. Tks.
pi, ha ha funny. Imagine you being thrown into the sea with your tudung flapping in the wind...
id, good day to you too. Singgahlah selalu...
ms, as usual 4M will definitely make me better... Yes pi is special, jom campak dia kelaut nak ? Kah kah kah
Pi Bani is so funny... she made my Sunday morning. hahahaha
Apandi's remark sent me laughing to the kitchen to get my coffee.
Apandi, just imagining the scene where you and Mat Salo are 'campak-ing' her in the sea. Pi is such a sport. It is so fun around here. :)
Oh yeah, and you are right. Ignoring 'those unfortunate beings' makes it worse. They somehow stick around in your face. :)
