A small bug!




The first two pictures are the delightful sights in a rose garden.

The third picture is that of the Spittle Bug which hides in the spittle on the stem and come out regularly to eat away the leaves, buds and flowers. As a spittle bug has a life time of several months, the vigilance to stop them from multiplying is a big challenge. 

It is the third month, since I have been trying to wean  Spittle Bugs from rose bushes without having to use insecticides. The success is not in sight.

A small bug damages the rose bush.

Are not just the small things that damage our family lives!

The quarrel between husband and wife about who should clear the Kitchen trash came to a a point of no return that they are in marriage counselling now.   

Watch out for small things in our behaviour towards each other- they can build relationships or damage them!

Do not ignore small irritants in relationships. They are dangerously harmful!
