I noticed this creature by seeing its shadow first. It is a small creature with a tiny shadow but I still managed to see its shadow. One day we may not even be able to see a tiny shadow like this one. How could we if there would be no creature to form a shadow. Our world is so fragile, yet we still exploit it till it breaks. I coincidentally noticed this creature while I was in a fieldwork in an organic farm but I rarely see this in a other places. Most of the natural places left have become compact between roads and buildings. Apart from that they are affected by sound and air pollution (and other forms of pollution). This forces the species living within these ecosystems to not perform their functions well and at times this could even lead to their demise. We may not notice but each of our actions will influence the environment and may lead to the demise of creature.
