Enthusiasm Is Contagious

---

This husband of mine…

Is fascinated…with the antlion…got called from the couch…with an…omg…you HAVE to come see this…and this I did…have to see it…his enthusiasm contagious…causing his usually not interested in insects bride…to suddenly be interested…in insects…

That antlion…not an ant at all…but a predatory creature…whose larvae build traps…to catch poor unsuspecting just-happen-to-be-walking-by…ants…the larvae…built just so…leave odd winding doodling like trails in the sand…gaining the name of doodlebug…

And while amused by the name me…marveled over the moniker doodlebug…she realized that she may not be interested in insects…but insects…are apparently…interested in her…teeny tiny seemingly invisible biting flies…aptly called the No-See-Um…seem to find…old gals tasty…

And so it is…in life…enthusiasm can be contagious…share your excitement…your interests…your joy…and when it comes to invisible pesky flies…we can always say what you can’t see…won’t hurt you…
​
But these feasted on old gal ankles of mine…would not…agree…
