Oh the irony. Today I watched some of "The Lion King" with Sam and Michael. They found the VHS cassette and thought it looked like fun to watch. They loved "The Circle of Life" so I rewound it a few times and we watched it over and over together. We heard Mufassa explain to young Simba that although lions eat the antelope, they still respect them because, as part of the circle of life, the lion's die and become grass, and then the antelope eat the grass. Got the point. The food chain, all of that.
So, when I saw this today under my kitchen window I had a dilema: should I let the spider (tiny thing to the left of the ladybug) finish spinning its web around the ladybug and save it for later like the disgusting spider in Lord of the Rings, or do I save the ladybug's life and wonder how it got inside my kitchen.
I decided I couldn't watch the slow death so I scooped them both up on a butter knife and washed them down the kitchen sink. I guess, as someone at the top of the food chain, I intervened. I hope this doesn't bring on a ladybug infestation.
