That's fascinating Cali. As usual I have a question.
With all the wildlife around me I can see what would happen if one chain in the circle of life is removed, for instance if snakes were removed from this area, we would be overrun with rats, mice and those huge scary cane rats. So I know that there's a reason for the insects and animals here, not "designed" but because that's the way it works. Before I understood about evolution, I would be all weepy about NatGeo movies of lions chasing down buck and killing them, now I see it all as the "circle of life." I don't' eat meat through choice, but I understand that geckos eat moths and other insects, if we got rid of the geckos, we'd have mosquitoes in our house, they keep them down.
Which leads me to the question, where do the animals you mention above fit into the "circle?"
