Old Story!

Though it is interesting, that these insects behave in this particular fashion which would to say "stick to "your kind" and or to say "your race, species. This is not an astounding new theory. It has been around since the orgin of man. What is to be "remembered" is that, we are talking about insects, animals that were put here for a purpose. They are not of "man" nor do they need to express all of man"s characteristics. Our "gift" of rational thought and a "God" given ability to observe, marvel and wonder at the mystery and beauty of things such as this, is a wonderful cause. But it does not portray the importance, of our species. The second greatest law "Love thy neighbor as thyself"
