I like to think of myself as a big spider in a room with small spiders.
They get the edges and corners and I get the center.

Occasionally, I go around clearing the old webs, so that new spiders can come and make new webs and catch some mosquitoes.
If a spider invades my bed/kitchen/computer, I get rid of it.


Ants are pretty annoying, but are useful too.
They let me know if I dropped some foodstuff and didn't clean it properly, by banding around it.
So I can just go and clean it and the ants stop coming.
