There is nothing I hate more than useless people trying to show their supremacy over defenseless animals. A recent incident that took place right outside my building angered me greatly.Two dogs caught in a quarrel got my attention and I rushed to my window only to see the watchman threatening to stone the already frightened dog. What is the need to take out your life's frustration on a vulnerable dog?! Absolutely infuriating. I cannot contain my anger and in such cases it should not be contained either! There are hardly any people willing to stand up for them and I think that the few people who are willing to should speak up for them or they will always be treated like unwanted pests by idiotic "homo sapiens"! Such people should be put in their place.

the ant lion bug
tiny fellows that burrow in the soil waiting for their prey to fall into their trap

the praying mantis
camouflage extraordinaire!
we were lucky to spot this fascinating insect
had we been a little distracted it could have been easily missed.
