“Of all the things you choose in your life, you don’t get to choose what your nightmares are. You don’t pick them: They pick you” John Irving

They feed on decomposing vegetation, faeces or organic matter mixed with soil, and play an important role in the breakdown of plant litter.
Thus maintain the balance in Nature.

I still remember having a nightmare, and remember it to this day. Where a snail was eating me alive, it was quiet horrible.

Just looking at those insects give me the creeps. Yesterday some sugar ants crawled all over my feet (wearing sandals) and started to bite me. Then some started to crawl up my pant legs and bit me on the thighs. When I got home one crawled out of my shirt. That’s when I decided to jump into the shower.
