Sunday: stick cows and locusts

Today Maria and I were teaching Sunday School and the teens are drawing through the Old Testament. (Basically they are given a topic/passage and need to draw a picture and write a statement about how God worked.) Maria and I were working on the last four plagues-boils, hail, locusts, and darkness. I drew boils and darkness. She ended up with hail and locusts, both which involve drawing animals. But she drew the cutest animals! The cows were just cute stick figures. The locusts looked like bugs but not bad bugs... definitely not bugs that would eat all your crops and leave you to starve.

It was weird thinking that she drew such a bad bug so cutely. But both of our drawing talents are rather limited, so there wasn't much choice.

Which brings us to the question, what good do ticks and fleas do? There are a lot of bugs that I don't like, but that I can at least understand the reason for. Maria brought these two up and neither of us knew what good they do.
