A Firefly Taught Me a Valuable Lesson
Learning the tough lessons through bugs
Depending on where in the world you are, you either have fireflies or you don’t and you probably call them something else. I know my US friends call them lightening bugs. Whatever your name is for them I think we can all agree that they are absolutely mesmerizing to watch.
So here in beautiful Guatemala, we have tons of fireflies. I’m ridiculously happy about this. I can sit in my yard and watch these cute little buggers (pardon the pun) all damn nite.
Every now and then, one makes it into my house.
One night while laying in bed I watched one blink across my bedroom ceiling as I gently fell asleep. It was pure bliss.
But then……..
Not all bugs are cute
So here in Guatemala, besides stunning fireflies, we also have a shit ton of really creepy critters. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come across something and shouted “wtf are you???”.
Many many times. Those fuckers die with no mercy. You can read about how this one critter died a horrific death
