Sipra's Diary: Tiny but mighty

                                   
                                                           Tiny but Mighty

 Of late I am becoming curious to know about those things which were not interesting to me at all. Biology and Botany were most uninteresting to me for their bombastic terms But now I wonder with the engineering skill of ants, white ants, earthworms, spiders mosquitoes, cockroaches etc.
During my stay in India  I was bothered too much by cockroaches, white ants and mosquitoes. I had to keep vigil eye to keep the house get rid of them. The ability of damaging power of white ants which are so small but so  mighty  to do harm which  is not less than an elephant; and so are the ants, and mosquitoes!

 It is surprising but a fact that the Emperor like Alexzander the Great retreated because of this tiny insects, as the mosquito -bite made the regiment of armies sick with malaria fever and too weak to fight more!
The defeat caused by tiny insects like mosquitoes vs the great historical hero..........
What an irony. !!
