If all flies were fireflies, would we like them more or less?
Often, we only appreciate something in comparison to something else. Relativity.

Culture has given them a cute persona.. I don't know if it would be the same if a tarantula lit up but at least we know where they are. There's an interesting story about the Shogun crab. And how by accident it's survived and flourished. One of these crabs in Japan happened to have a marking similar to a Shogun Warriors mask. Lo and behold they thought it was a spirit and kept throwing it back in the water while keeping the others for food. Eventually the marking was found on The Offspring and they were thrown back as well. So crabs with that marking flourished. And now the Shogun crab almost all have the marking of the Shogun mask. Thanks to a lucky unique pattern that happened on one particular crab..

@DanielChristensen I was watching something recently wear a bunch of liberals were screaming about cutting down old growth forest because the spotted owl was becoming endangered. But the lumber yards put five times the amount of New Growth trees for every tree they took. People still complained but again lo and behold the spotted owl's all moved to the new growth forests because they could see that prey on the ground easier. Now they are overpopulated and doing fantastically. Thanks to the lumber yards
