Insects, symbolism and metaphors
Negative qualities
Strange and alien beings
Alice meets the caterpillar. Illustration by Sir John Tenniel in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, c. 1865
Insects have repeatedly been used in literature as strange or alien beings. Sir John Tenniel drew a famous illustration of Alice meeting a caterpillar for Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, c. 1865. The caterpillar is seated on a toadstool and is smoking a hookah pipe; the image can be read as showing either the forelegs of the larva, or as suggesting a face with protruding nose and chin.[16] H.G. Wells wrote about intelligent ants destroying human settlements in Brazil and threatening human civilization in his 1905 science-fiction short story, The Empire of the Ants.[17] He made use of giant wasps in his 1904 novel The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth:[18]
It flew, he is convinced, within a yard of him, struck the ground, rose again, came down again perhaps thirty yards away, and rolled over with its body wriggling and its sting stabbing out and back in its last agony. He emptied both barrels into it before he ventured to go near. When he came to measure the thing, he found it was twenty-seven and a half inches across its open wings, and its sting was three inches long. … The day after, a cyclist riding, feet up, down the hill between Sevenoaks and Tonbridge, very narrowly missed running over a second of these giants that was crawling across the roadway.[18]
In 1917 the ghost story author Algernon Blackwood wrote An Egyptian Hornet, about a beast at once alarming and beautiful: “From a distance he examined this intrusion of the devil. It was calm and very still. It was wonderfully made, both before and behind. Its wings were folded upon its terrible body. Long, sinuous things, pointed like temptation, barbed as well, stuck out of it. There was poison, and yet grace, in its exquisite presentment.” The story contrasts the reactions to the threat of the churchman, the Reverend James Milligan, and the “depraved” Mr. Mullins.[19]
The science fiction writer Eric Frank Russell’s 1957 Wasp has its protagonist, James Mowry, as a “wasp” terrorist, a small but deadly Terran (human) force in the Sirian Empire’s midst.[20]
Greed
Devouring plagues of locusts are mentioned in literature throughout history. The Ancient Egyptians carved locusts on tombs in the period 2470 to 2220 BC, and a devastating plague is mentioned in the Book of Exodus in the Bible, as taking place in Egypt around 1300 BC.[21][22] Plagues of locusts are also mentioned in the Quran.[23]
Eric Carle’s children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar portrays the larva as an extraordinarily hungry animal.[16][24]
Self-importance
The Impertinent Insect is a group of five fables, sometimes ascribed to Aesop, concerning an insect which may be a fly, gnat, or flea, and which puffs itself up to seem important.
Death and decay
A woodprint of The fly and the mule from the 1464 Ulm edition of Steinhöwel’s collection of Aesop’s Fables. It is one of five versions of The Impertinent Insect.
Further information: Fly and Housefly
In the Biblical fourth plague of Egypt, flies represent death and decay. Myiagros was a god in Greek mythology who chased away flies during the sacrifices to Zeus and Athena; Zeus sent a fly to bite Pegasus, causing Bellerophon to fall back to Earth when he attempted to ride the winged steed to Mount Olympus.
Emily Dickinson’s 1855 poem “I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died” refers to flies in the context of death. In William Golding’s 1954 novel Lord of the Flies, the fly is a symbol of the children involved.
Improvidence
One of Aesop’s Fables, the tale of The Ant and the Grasshopper. The ant works hard all summer, while the grasshopper plays. In winter, the ant is ready but the improvident grasshopper starves. Somerset Maugham’s short story “The Ant and the Grasshopper” explores the fable’s symbolism via complex framing.[25]
Unfaithfulness
Other human weaknesses besides improvidence have become identified with the grasshopper’s behaviour.[26] So an unfaithful woman (hopping from man to man) is “a grasshopper” (Russian: Попрыгунья, romanized: Poprygunya), an 1892 short story by Anton Chekhov,[27] and in the films called The Grasshopper by Samson Samsonov (1955) and Jerry Paris (1970) based on that story.[28][29][30]
Torment
The Ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus has a gadfly pursue and torment Io, a maiden associated with the moon, watched constantly by the eyes of the herdsman Argus, associated with all the stars: “Io: Ah! Hah! Again the prick, the stab of gadfly-sting! O earth, earth, hide, the hollow shape—Argus—that evil thing—the hundred-eyed.” William Shakespeare, inspired by Aeschylus, has Tom o’Bedlam in King Lear, “Whom the foul fiend hath led through fire and through flame, through ford and whirlpool, o’er bog and quagmire”, driven mad by the constant pursuit.[31] In Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare likens Cleopatra’s hasty departure from the Actium battlefield to that of a cow chased by a gadfly: “The breeze [gadfly] upon her, like a cow in June / hoists sail and flies”, where “June” may allude not only to the month but also to the goddess Juno who torments Io; and the cow in turn may allude to Io, who is changed into a cow in Ovid’s Metamorphoses.[32]
The physician and naturalist Thomas Muffet wrote that the horse-fly “carries before him a very hard, stiff, and well-compacted sting,[a] with which he strikes through the Oxe his hide; he is in fashion like a great Fly, and forces the beasts for fear of him only to stand up to the belly in water, or else to betake themselves to wood sides, cool shades, and places where the wind blowes through.”[34] The “Blue Tail Fly” in the eponymous song was probably the mourning horsefly (Tabanus atratus), a tabanid with a blue-black abdomen common to the southeastern United States.[35]
Mosquitoes have been part of oral lore, and even of told jokes, and from folklore pronouncing the origin of the mosquito, and depicting its relation to a “blood-sucking monster” contemporary work has been written and illustrated.[36] The Tlingit legend “How Mosquitoes Came to Be”[37] expresses the never-ending torment inflicted by the mosquito.

We are naive in our ignorance, avoidance of taking stands and actions, and at great risk now.
Wildfires are killing eco systems that could take 500 years to recover, billions of animals, uncountable insects/fungus/bacteria that hold keys to our own survival such as new antibiotics, pets, crops, livestock (from beef to dairy to…)
Hey, it’s not just the Amazon, wildfires are now, today, WORLDWIDE and so huge its incomprehensible, from Turkey to Asia to Australia to Africa (both Sub Saharan Countries, tropical forest countries, and to the wildfires in South Africa).
And, innocent people. Humans with humanity, something the psychopaths do not register in their brain (not a slam, a biological fact of lack of sympathy, empathy, compassion, care missing in criminal brains).

Sadism 101
Here is a collection of graphics and info on Sadism.
Check Back for much more on this.
Psychologists talk about “the dark triad” in personality, representing a perfect-storm combination of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. People high in the dark triad traits callously use people to their own advantage, seeing them as tools to exploit in order to get what they want.
To be sure, enjoying the suffering of others—the hallmark of sadism—can be part of the picture in the dark triad constellation. However, personality psychologists are beginning to believe that a predilection for cruelty stands on its own in understanding why one person would want to harm another. Rather than express itself in behavior that results in humiliation, maiming, or death, however, there’s a kind of everyday sadism that shows up in more benign, everyday form.
You might even express the everyday form of sadism without realizing it.
Perhaps you enjoy the rush of blasting a videogame opponent’s avatars to bits. At a hockey game, you may cheer less for your team to score than for members of both teams to engage in a violent clashing of sticks and bodies against the glass. Action movies involving battles to the death may be your favorite form of entertainment. In all of these cases, you’re taking pleasure from ordinary experiences in which the cruelty (other than at the hockey game) is vicarious.
University of British Columbia psychologist Erin Buckels and collaborators (2013) decided to investigate the idea that everyday sadists are willing to inflict real, not just vicarious, harm. They also reasoned that people high in this less overt form of sadism might themselves become more aggressive when provoked than other individuals. Further, they believed it possible for sadism to provide a unique prediction of antisocial behavior above and beyond those of the dark triad qualities.
To investigate everyday sadism in actual behavior, they needed to come up with a laboratory task that would mimic the kind of casual harm-producing behavior people might perform in their daily life. But translating everyday sadism into a lab setting is, understandably, a challenge: You have to invent a task that will not actually hurt people but which has to seem realistic. Buckels and her team zeroed in on bug-killing. The act of killing a bug, they argued, would satisfy a sadistic desire to cause a live creature harm through direct physical contact.
To test their theory, they offered participants a choice of unpleasant tasks in which killing bugs would be one alternative among a set of unpleasant but non-sadistic options. They settled on these three choices (plus bug-killing) as possible “jobs” a participant could pick—assisting someone else in killing bugs; cleaning dirty toilets; and putting their hand in a bucket of ice water. (In case you’re worried, the bug-killing wasn’t real, but it appeared to be, as the bugs were supposedly being ground in a machine that would loudly crunch them into bits.)
To identify the everyday sadists in the sample, Buckels and her team used the Short Sadistic Impulse Scale (SSIS) developed by University of College Cork psychologist Aisling O’Meara and her team (2011). They also administered dark triad questionnaires to be able to tease out the separate contributions of sadism from those other three qualities.
As expected, the highly sadistic-scoring participants were the most likely to choose the bug-killing task. After completing the task, they also reported enjoying it the most—and, if they had chosen a different task, seemed to regret not having taken on the bug-killing job in the first place.
In the second laboratory task, the highly sadistic were compared with their less cruelty-oriented counterparts in their willingness, in a button-pushing competition, to attack an opponent who they believed would not attack them back. Over the course of the experiment, participants had the opportunity to blast white noise into the headphones of their opponents for every trial that they won. The situation was rigged, of course—there was no actual opponent. However, the participants were led to believe that their opponent would not attack them back after receiving the ear-disrupting blast.
The question, then, was whether those high in sadism would continue to inflict the aversive stimulus to a non-attacking opponent. As it turned out, not only were the everyday sadists quicker to harm their opponents, but they would also work harder for the opportunity to blast them some more. Dark triad qualities, as in the bug-killing experiment, didn’t predict the outcome of noise-blasting tendencies—but sadism did.
We have pretty good evidence, then, that people who score high on a questionnaire measure of sadism may also behave in the casual, everyday ways that might be similar to these lab tasks. That questionnaire measure appears, then, to have reasonably good validity as a way to predict who will kill for the sake of killing (bugs, of course, not people) and who could inflict harm on an opponent offering an olive branch.
Now that you know that the SSIS questionnaire predicted people’s lab behavior, you can take the questionnaire yourself, or look at each item from the vantage point of a person you’d like to rate. Other personality research shows that ratings of people we know on questionnaire measures can provide fairly reliable insights into those people’s dispositions. In fact, in some cases, the ratings we make of others are even more accurate than those we make of ourselves. This is because it can be difficult to admit having certain qualities, perhaps particularly so when considering the darker sides of our nature, which we would prefer to think we don’t have.
With this background, then, here are the 10 questions from the SSIS. Each one is rated simply as “describes me/this person” or “does not describe me/this person”:
I enjoy seeing people hurt.
I would enjoy hurting someone physically, sexually, or emotionally.
Hurting people would be exciting.
I have hurt people for my own enjoyment.
People would enjoy hurting others if they gave it a go.
I have fantasies which involve hurting people.
I have hurt people because I could.
I wouldn’t intentionally hurt anyone. (Reversed-scored)
I have humiliated others to keep them in line.
Sometimes I get so angry I want to hurt people.
Now, scoring one point for each Yes answer (or No on number 8), compare your scores with those from the participants, who ranged in age from 18 to 65 but were mostly undergraduates. Although the scores from participants did range from 1 to 10, meaning that some participants did in fact endorse every item, 96% of the sample scored at 4 or lower. Thus, if you, or the person you’re rating, scored at 5 or higher, you or that person may fall within the small minority of the population who could be considered everyday sadists. (The more sadistic are particularly likely to endorse the items on the SSIS dealing with fantasy and self-gratification.)
O’Meara and her team examined the relationships among the SSIS and other relevant measures to find out if sadism and empathy were related. The pattern of findings led them to conclude that everyday sadists are aware of the impact that their actions have on others but don’t have a particular concern for how those people feel.
