    I received an invitation to the annual Humane Awards banquet sponsored
    by the MSPCA yesterday.  The envelope had a wonderful quote on it.
    
    "Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar
    is as important to the child
    as it is to the caterpillar"
    
    Wonderful sentiment.

|     I like that.  As a younger person, I always killed most bugs,
    ESPECIALLY spiders.  Now (that I'm not so young), I always feel a
    little guilty if I kill an insect (unless it's mosquito).  I even have
    a resident spider (black and ugly) living around my house.  However,
    the poor thing almost got it the other day when he crawled across my
    pillow!  YUCK!

|     If bugs have mothers that care, then Smokey must be causing many
    unhappy Mother's Days for the local grasshoppers.  :-}

|     I also will kill nothing without a reason.  I'm afraid that I do
    go after mosquito's with a vengence however.  Its them or me!!
    I also feel no love for carpenter ants, but if they stay out of
    my house then I leave them alone.
      The cats however, have a reason for going after the dragonflies
    and grasshoppers......LUNCH !
