The View From Here

I think that june bugs are by far the most interestingly stupid bugs in the world.  I was sitting around shooting the breeze with one of my friends (yes I do have some of those) and a couple interesting questions came up.  Question number one:  don’t june bugs, all by themselves, totally disprove natural selection?  Really, think about it.  These things would have been selected out the moment they came in to being.  Just watch them sometime.  They fly into the same wall ten thousand times before they realize there is a wall there.  Or it could be that they are just horrible aviators.  “Turn to the right, to the right, to the riiiiiigggght!!!!!  Arrrgggg!!  I failed to avoid that wall that is ten million times larger than I am!!”

Anyway, question number two:  where do these things go for nine or ten months out of the year.  They just randomly appear for a couple months, fly around bumping into everything, and then disappear.   I know why they disappear.  They can’t mate!  Think about it.  They can barely fly without falling all over themselves.  Good luck, Junebugette, finding a man that can contribute to the gene pool.  I don’t know about you but I don’t recall seeing any baby june bugs around.  They can’t reproduce so they disappear.  So where do they come from come June??  I suppose I could go check out Wikipedia and find out and I probably will, but sometimes things in nature are funnier when they aren’t completely understood.

All that to say (and I know you have thought it too), JUNE BUGS ARE WEIRD!!

The End.
