Greed is already destroying the world. Wars are a destruction and has reach every part... I've just ended a conversation on this with another Hivean. It's very unfortunate and sad.
I found your experience with the Japanese beetle though 😄. It's white markings are beautiful though and for that, the little thing deserves a photo of Its own.:)

The drops were indeed made beautiful by the sun's reflection, nice shot.

It's easy to ignore nature and it's gorgeous features indeed. If man spent more time with nature, maybe we'd be more grateful and too in awe to be greedy or selfish. Reading your post reminded me of Mosi-oa-Tunya (The Smoke that Thunders)/ Victoria Falls. Go take a look.
