Assignment 2

I am outside, in the cool damp weather, here alongside the inner yard of my aunt’s house. A short rainfall has just past by and I am heading over to the vines right on the fence. First, what I come across is the neighbors miniature dogs, is this really what I should write about, not so much. They are adorable, but not what to focus on at the moment. So, I take in  the utter silence of nature, and look even closer and capture what to be my main objective a caterpillar. I wonder, do I really see them around rarely anywhere? Not exactly, but this is a first and I am up for a new insight. Looking at it from its natural state, I see the cool colors it wears, all black and with orange blotches. Is it poisonous? Harmless? What I do next, is gently put my fingers along its back, its cold and motionless. Maybe from its perspective, it’s like, “who is that? Will it harm me? Its curious eyes keep glancing back at me, should I do tricks and entertain it, or keep it safe and act as if I’m invisible and keep still?" From my knowledge about caterpillars, is they have two ends, weird. Though, they are the ones who leave little nibbles on plants. Like little ninjas that are in disguise and ready to be camouflaged. Nature itself is a big question mark. Do these little fellows, use leaves to act like boats to cross big puddles of water? This would be quite an adventure to experience. How do insects in general live? Do they talk to one another when they come across path, and say “Hey, how’s it going?” Like humans do. Or do a courteous smile, if it’s even possible. So many questions, yet few answered. This is what I consider the circle of life, and what we have more to learn about.
