      This very much reminds me of a traditional joke from my country, which is quite inappropriate and so it won’t be shared here.

    Every bug 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 shoes for scorpions.
