Free Haiku-16: Contradictory Japanese proverbs

@Try wrapping yourself in a long belt: If someone is stronger than you, follow them without resisting.

@Even a tiny insect has a soul: Even the smallest or weakest people cannot take away their sense of independence.

These proverbs have the exact opposite meaning.

Here's a cute little insect that I found while gardening a few months ago. If I remember right its a type of fly that looks like a bee. The perfect camouflage, but still adorable.

Tiny carpet beetle. I was bored, so I took pictures. I think the pattern on this beetle's back would look good on a sweater.
