They fly so effortlessly. This is 1 of 2 that were floating around overhead. If we kill or poison all their food they can’t survive.
So I was talking to someone the other day and laughing that I had got a D1A in a Typing class. Letter grade D, a 1 or the top in effort, and an A in attendance and behavior. In other words I tried real hard but got a D. The person I was talking to said “I got an F in biology.” Sometime later in the conversation (and this person was told that I have a PhD in molecular genetics, microbiology) I commented about pesticides being somewhat damaging to the environment and the person said “oh I don’t believe any of that.”
What is it with people and their pride in their ignorance. This person knows absolutely nothing about biology. Their entire biology experience is less time than a class I took in the molecular mechanisms of viruses and yet they are so sure that they know everything they need to know about biology and that pesticides can’t harm the environment.
