Dec 13 were little bugs with a white polka dot wings and they were on my desk. I was just watching them fly around the room, and then one of them landed on my hand. I looked at it and said, "What is that?" It was so cute, I couldn't help but smile. I picked it up gently and held it in my palm. It was soft and warm to the touch. I didn't know what kind of bug it was, but it was clearly not a spider or any other scary creature. It was just a little bug with pretty wings. I let it go and watched as it flew away. I felt sad that I couldn't keep it, but I knew it would be happier in its natural habitat. I hope that wherever it went, it found safety and happiness. And maybe one day, it will come back to visit me again.
