last night i saw a green lacewing on my wall and i stared at it for ten minutes. it was such a mesmerizing little critter, because its little antennae kept moving around and it had iridescent little wings. i had to put it outside because if it stayed inside one of the cats would've killed it, so i coaxed it onto a paper towel and put it on the back porch. while i was doing that i had to keep one of the pendejitos from attacking the bug. parrying his attacks with one hand and pushing the paper towel towards the bug with the other. i was saying out loud to it "get on the paper towel if you want to live!!" and it did, eventually. what a cool bug.
