The bluebottle

The bluebottle isn’t trying to annoy you. Your annoyance stems from your prejudices against buzzing insects, unthinkingly instilled in you by your ignorant parents. You should be swatting them, not the innocent bluebottle. Swat them gently, though, for they cannot help their ignorance, just as the bluebottle cannot help its blueness and its buzzing.
