So I'm sitting in the garden here in the first real sun we've had in this part of the UK.
I'm relaxing, playing a guitar.

I'm getting nicely buzzed on a half decent bottle of Pinot.

Then a bug, fuck knows what it is, dive bombs into my wine.
He's wriggling, swimming for his life, and I think "Well I need to save this little bastard, it's not his fault he's crashed into a 13.5 percent lake, at least I chose this poison, he didn't"

So I try to save him. I fish him out, stick him on the table.

Then I think "Well he's soaked in alcohol, it must be seeping into his book lungs and all the other systems, I need to flush him"
So I get water, pour it all over him (or her) then scooch him out into the sun to dry.

He's still sitting there. It's not looking good. I imagine he's massively drunk and doesn't know what's going on.

The question is, am I fucking mental? Would anybody else go to these lengths to save a bug?

It's a lovely day. I'm buzzed. I'm feeling love for all gods creatures. I've also been a vegetarian for 42 years but I don't think this is relevant, I don't normally save insects.

He just did the full wing flex, everything out in the sun.
He's standing high on his legs now, confident, alive.

I think he's ready to fulfill his full 24 hours of life, looking for a female to impregnate.
It's beautiful.

I'll post when he takes to the air. There's a future for us all.
 
He's gone!

He rose majestically into the air, Condor like. A golden halo his fleeting companion.
I sway betwixt joy and thoughts of Icarus!

As Confucius once said:
"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves."
No wait.
I meant this:
"Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?"

It's been a life changing experience.
I'd like to thank...
 
The true test of character is what one does when no one else is watching. While OP was updating us and technically we were watching, I suspect even without posting here he'd have done the same thing.

Praise @The Silent Perjority , Savior of Bugs, first of his name.
 
this is the most British bullshit I've read in a minute. as an American my first and only course of action would be to immediately power chug the rest of the bottle and use the nutrients provided by the added bug to become even more racist
 
You are not alone OP. I save bugs that land in my coffee, though their prognosis is generally far from happy & wholesome. They tend towards the smaller side & the coffee tends to be fresh & hot. RIP, brave bugs of coffees’ past. Thrive, drunk bugs of Spring.
