#projectbug defense

Our innate fear of insects likely evolved as a mechanism to protect us from getting bitten, stung, or poisoned, which are the insects' own protective mechanisms to avoid harm from us and other potential predators. This dynamic of mutual self-defense applies to interactions of all creatures, including human relationships. What for one creature or person is an important element of self-defense is a potential attack to the other.
