SOYBEAN RAGE and LAZY DANCING LEAF

So I said I'd talk about geeks again - I lied. Next time. This is more urgent.

There's been this INFESTATION of bugs lately on campus. I hear it's across the nation - but I could be wrong. I mean - I don't really mind bugs. If I see one I'll kill it and that's that. But I'll tell ya, bugs really know the power of numbers.

So what's been infesting us lately is these guys:



Soybean Aphids

They're about the size of half my eyelash and I'm pretty sure they die if you blow on them. Fragile little buggers. BUT THEY KNOW NO FEAR. They just fly around and land on you - and stay there til you kill em. From class to class I'd say I'll have 14 or 15 on my arms/clothes. Seriously lookin around on campus when the sun is setting it looks like there's flurries everywhere there's so many freaking bugs. But I was learning to deal y'know and this wasn't really much.


Today - I was walking towards the quad across Goodwin Ave. where the hedges line up near the buildings along the bike paths/street. And I saw this weird leaf dancing lazily (Yes, lazily) in the wind stuck to the hedge and I thought it as pretty cool so I went to look at it. (I really need a digital camera...UGH but I must say my MS PAINT skills are top notch)




Please note the wind marks as I thought the wind was making it dance.


So I literally wtf'd? and walk over to get a closer look and 10ft away I'm like whoa this leaf is crazy looking!



So obviously I wanna get a good look at this thing and maybe take it or something. SO... I went to go look real close and I see:







:ISUDFG:ISUDFGIUDSSDKJFBVSJH - I'M LOOKING AT FCKIN' APHIDS STUCK TO A SPIDER WEB. YOU KNOW WHY?! CAUSE THERE'S SO MANY DAMN SOYBEAN APHIDS RAGING AROUND THEY ALL GOT STUCK TO A SPIDER WEB AND IT TINTED THE WEB GREEN. AND THEY'RE ALL JUST TRYING TO MOVE SO IT MADE IT LOOK LIKE A LAZY DANCING LEAF.

Geeks next time.
