Harry Gets Patriotic
Tuesday July 5 2011
Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays of the year. It combines all of the best things about being a bug - warm weather, a good food source (I prefer BBQ crickets) and plenty of friends to celebrate with - insects love to travel in large groups, called swarms.
In this insect's humble opinion, we get to live in the greatest country on earth. I'm so proud of where I'm from, and I'm proud of who I am - a goofy, fun-loving mantis!
Bugs and people aren't all that different. In America, we all play different roles in our society and ecosystem, and most of us have ancestors who came here from other parts of the world to succeed and thrive.
