Every hug has a job! Fruit flies consume the yeast on rotting fruit and their larvae consume the fruit itself, broadening the distribution of plant matter. Dragonflies voraciously consume all flying insects, but particularly slow flying ones like mosquitos, while their nymphs do the same in the water, controlling populations to avoid collapse. Scorpions sit inside your shoes and sting you to remind you to check your shoe for scorpions.

I’m Norwegian. We have dragonflies. They are dope. But we don’t have any of those horrifying insects and eight legged ones that kill you. So I don’t resonate with the paranoia of checking your shoes, like at all. I am not sure if I would survive a week in Australia.

I would die instantly the second I stepped off the plane. One of those jellyfish would jump out of the water and smoke me on the spot
