One of the magical moments in my young life was watching ladybugs move about both inside and outside my bedroom window. I could completely lose myself while observing “bugs”. I just loved ladybugs.
Then there’s the house fly which I always shoo away from my food, but never interfered with when they were walking across my limbs. I enjoy the tickle of their feet across my arms and legs. Watching insects moving about in their worlds always intrigued me as a child. I suppose in some weird way I could relate to being this small being in a world that could crush you with very little effort.
Perhaps that’s more an observation from my adult self!
Still, the expression “crush you like a bug” is one of my favourites when discussing going after large, global entities for payment or recourse!
Other insects that held my interest included walking sticks (in the States), ants, dragon flies (at the cottage) and butterflies.
