Why a blurry photo of a butterfly to illustrate the word “myopic”? There is a story.
I’ve been shortsighted as far back as I remember. It is worse when the light is fading. I never leave the house without my glasses but around the house I often take them off.
When our cat was still little she often brought insects in the house to play with them, and this being in South Africa the insects were often quite large. One evening I heard a commotion in the hallway and saw Socks fighting with a large, dark butterfly. When I came closer the cat ran off and what I thought was a large, dark butterfly was clinging to the wall. Being shortsighted I had to get close to see if the butterfly was beyond rescue or if I could do something for it. I bent down and –
found myself face to face with a snarling, spitting bat.
If I had worn my glasses, I wouldn’t have made that mistake!

Oh. I do like bats, but I wouldn’t like to get close and personal. Particularly with a Hot Cross Bat.

Oh My God! I would never go that close, to any insect leave the bat alone. My people say bats often attack you and directly at your nose. I don’t want to be a victim and laughed at…as here people do make fun of the one whose nose is injured😅

The bat was more scared than I was, I think. And then I had a hard time to convince it to leave the house! But I’ll remember what you said next time I see somebody with a scratch on his/her nose!
