Overcoming Insect Phobia: A Journey Through Nature

When I was a kid, I had a phobia of insect worlds. I remember being very scared of grasshoppers, earthworms, and crickets. In my maternal grandmother’s house, we used to spend our school break, and she had a big backyard with lots of plants. I would call it a mini-jungle. Every rainy season, countless earthworms used to come out of the ground, and the toilet was at the end of the backyard, which meant you had to cross all those creatures to reach it. OMG, it was a nightmare that time.

Now, since we love being in nature and have learned to respect nature and its beings, I love capturing these beautiful creatures (for some, they aren’t, but come on, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder) through my camera. And now I am teaching my kid not to be afraid of them or to despise them; being cautious is good, though.

Today, I am going to share some insect pictures I captured over the years. It’s completely OK if you don’t like 🙂

Now, when I am too involved in gardening, I feel overjoyed after seeing an earthworm, as it tells me the soil is in good health. They are called farmers’ friends.

Hope you liked the pictures.
