Sandfly, Silverfish, Weevils and Termites

My interest in insects started with book worms or termites.

They destroyed a batch of books thankfully most of them were Buddhist books old and already ready for destruction by me anyway.

I have a large collection of them and if somebody throws a Bodu Bala Sena logic, I offer him or her (rarely a woman, they love fantasy books, not reality books),  a copy of Venerable Narada or Late Piyadhasdi Thera to shut them off in a few seconds.

Madihe Panjhasiha is out on first count.

If he she an intellectual I give the name of Bikku Bodhi who left this island having wrote a piece "Buddhism at Cross Roads" with the emergence of BBS.

He stated medical reasons but I guess he was ashamed to done a robe in Ceylon.

Would have been better in Thailand but never in Butma.

Renukane Chandawimal and his Sinhala books confuse me more.

Do not read his books on Abhidhamma, one would start hating Buddhism.

For the credit of Bikku Bodhi, he revived the BPS and unfortunately it is NOW run by a monk from Denmark (my guess) who is interested in making profits from book sales.

"Sabbha Dhanam Dhamma Dhanam Jinathi" is off the couch or window and the capitalism at work in full pace.

I will not burn Bikku Bodhi's books but I won't site the BPS again not even next birth.

The bookworms or booklice have got me to write a book "Living with Nature" which I delayed for one year and now two years gone by.

That time was not wasted I used my conservations to full use.

The sandfly is a misnomer.

But I prefer it since it gives natural sense but not a botanical genius working over time.

This classification guys like Buddhist monks destroy any inclination to study a new topic in simple (not in depth for god's
sake) way.

Now this sandfly has no relationship to dragonfly or damselfly at all.

It is our Walli Govvas mothers and fathers.

I loved the Walli Govvas as a kid.

Pick them up on your palm it dances backwards without probing it to do so.

Then place them back on sand and watch its engineering back at full pace until it bury itself waiting patiently for a prey like American bullish market guy (not bull market).

Now American sprayed the entire North America and their children never see a dragon fly or sandfly or even lady birds or ladybugs.

It is a little engineer that builts a pit that is deadly for ants.

I wish I can dig a pit like that for British (Conservatives) and Ceylonese (SLPP) politicians who are absolutely corrupt.

I wish good lick to Keith Starmer the Star of Wonder for British politics.

We do not have any like him emerging in Ceylon for another century.

We are stuck with a family hegemony for good.

Now there is a another strange thing about this newt or pupa of Walli Govva which I discover from Wikipedia (now the lack of anus is deleted by editors) two years ago.

It has no anus.

It devour for four years until the outer coat or the skin is close to burst and it goes into metamorphosis and the sand fly like creature is born.

I wish our future politicians are born without ani for them to naturally burst with corruption at the end of five years.

Now we did not have Walli Govvas when we built our house in a pit where termites and black ants live for centuries.

I got our cement bass to bring them and they were thriving where the overflow sand had collected and after 4 years or so they disappeared.

But I never thought they will come looking for us at a time where chemical killers are banned due to their price hike and my masterly inactivity principle interrupted by pouring water over ant holes which never worked.

Thanks sandflies but I pity for your offsprings without ani.

When we live with ants we have to wake up with ants.

When you do not have an anus it will burst one day.

Not with red ants with nasty sting.

I noticed these sand flies who come after four years near the big fish tank but never though they lay eggs on the sand holes turned out by nasty tiny red ants.

They have disappeared and lot of Walli Govvas with trap pits living there now.

I will have to watch them for four solid years till they disappear.

The nature has it's own ways to entice you and this piece will be a tiny chapter with more scientific details mixed with political satire (names deleted for safety of my children).
