Insect University

Once upon a TIME*, there was an ant who paid me no MIND. He insisted on going his own WAY, not realizing it was the spider who'd have the last SAY. I did my best to stir him RIGHT; but he became breakfast before he saw the LIGHT. I literally witnessed the ant being reeled in by the SPIDER. I must confess that I felt I didn't belong, like an OUTSIDER. The spider stared at me like I was invading his PRIVACY. Indeed, I was. It was the insect world, and I was an observer in their UNIVERSITY. 011322PSCtest, Insects, Angela Tune Rymes in Caps.
