As a kid I once experienced something worth of an Animal Planet show. I was a typical city boy, but I had family in the country side, I would spend some weeks down there on summers. For me that was extremely boring since I didn’t have other kids to play with, I didn’t have my Nintendo nor even a TV near. So one of those days my boredom drove me outside, a blue wasp caught my attention, it was beautiful and it was doing something peculiar, it was using its antennas to sense something in the ground, after a while it would start digging small holes with its arms, then it would stop and try sensing again, that happened a couple of times, the holes it made where almost perfect circles, after some minutes it went inside one of those holes and then it took out a really big larva, the larva was clearly some magnitudes bigger than the wasp, but it didn’t matter, the wasp took it outside and it flew away with it. That was a surreal experience for me as a kid it opened my eyes, it showed me a lot of amazing things happen every day, and we don’t even realize it.
