Respect for static electricity

Until recently, the mechanism of static electricity was a mystery. Static electricity also causes lightning, but it also fixes nitrogen and grows mushrooms. This is a tribute to static electricity, which attracts pollen from bees and butterflies, other insects from spider webs, and fine particles from clay minerals.

Respect for the birds

Birds are at the top of the ecosystem and play many roles, carrying seeds, pollen, microorganisms, and nutrients such as phosphorus. This is a tribute to the birds that fly freely in the sky and whose songs soothe people.

Respect for the moth

I wondered what role moths play. They are not as conspicuous as bees or butterflies, but they apparently carry pollen at night. I paid my respects to the moths who pollinate flowers in unseen places.
