Grasshoppers are supposed to jump.

A little while ago I was thinking about going to bed. It is midnight and bed is calling me. As I turned on the lights, I saw a bug moving near the big glass door (the one I call the window for earthquakes). I checked (no glasses) and the bug moved near the curtains. Leaving the light on, I went to come and get the strongest spray to kill bugs. We have the brown recluse in my city and nothing is too powerful for them. I sprayed the door in the place where it meets the floor. And, sorry to have done it, a near dead grasshopper hopped for an impossible safety. The best I could do was to kill it immediatly with my shoe. I could not give it mouth to mouth breathing. If he had jumped in the first place, as grasshoppers do, instead of posing as a spider, I would have left it alone. The moral of the story is that we should not disguise ourselves but be true to what we are.
