If I’m out walking around and I see a small beetle flipped over on its back, should I give him a nudge or let it be? I feel bad for the little dudes. But they got themselves into this situation so maybe they deserve to be a quick bird snack? But if I were stuck I would hope for some help and not being eaten. Plus the more stupid ones I save will keep the stupid genes going and the longer before we have to compete with sentient beetles. But then again, like, nature. I’m torn. Dziękuję

    Is it invasive?

    No action happens in a vacuum. Helping the beetle means that some thing doesn’t get lunch. Think of the birds or little snakes.

    So, if it’s invasive let them eat, if it’s not, flip it over.

    Either way probably doesn’t really matter in the scheme of things, though.
