Insect life
This morning I woke up at about eleven, I went out to get my mail while cooking my feet in the hot asphalt. I looked at the wooden handrail in the basement stairs and I saw a weird insect on top of a regular house fly. This insect was black and long. At first I thought it was a hornet, but somehow it refused to accept that definition. Well, going to the core, The interesting thing about this pair of seemingly innocuous insects is that I couldn't attract their attention no matter what I did. I even touched the wing of the large one, but it didn't move.
Now imagine that, in their perception, I must look like an all-powerful giant with the capacity to end their lives in an instant. Even so, they didn't move, whatever they were doing was more important than life itself...
What do I consider more important than life itself?
These small insects made me think about about that, but no answer came.

By the way, they were alive :)
I checked a couple hours later and they were gone.
