    Hello Linda!
    An enjoyable read. I liked the way you have combined the facts about Grain Weevils with an interesting flash fiction, with a little bit of humour. Thanks for explaining the basics of a flash fiction.
    I agree with you that Nature inspires the writers in any form, and even in it’s unpleasant forms.
    Thank you for sharing this excellent article.

    Linda, this piece of flash is funny and playful. On the other hand, you taught a whole lesson on weevils and beetles. The creatures are so small, and with aging eyes, the difference may be hard to see. Still, its good having the knowledge. Thank you and thanks to Chitrangada also for sharing.

    Excellent information, Linda. I learned quite a bit about Weevils today, and the flash fiction, as John has rightly mentioned, is the icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing.

    THanks, Chitrangada, for sharing Linda's work.

    Linda, what a lovely piece of writing. I enjoyed reading your flash fiction and learning more about weevils and beetles. I'm so lousy at writing fiction that I've already made myself accept that it's not my cup of tea. I thoroughly loved reading everything you've written; it was both educational and entertaining. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and for this wonderful flash fiction story.  smile

    Thank you so much for sharing Linda’s work, Di.

    Blessings and Love to you both.
