I used to study bugs because I loved them. Entomology still drives what has become my sad, depressing life, but now it’s boring and rather disgusting, even on the best of days.
I still spend most of my waking moments searching for the nasty little critters—everything from ants to beetles.
The beetles are the worst; they scuttle everywhere. I hate to admit it, but I now find them so repulsive I will—occasionally—grind one into oblivion under my shoe.
My favorite bugs are butterflies. They’re so pretty. I just wish they wouldn’t wiggle so much on the way down.
Ha!
Good job. I agree with Renfield, the butterflies are way too squirmy.
A very healthy diet apparently. Loved it and thought the ending was a nice touch.
Ha! Very funny and macabre at the same time. Definitely felt like I was swallowing a butterfly!
