In general, even the most gangster animals don’t want to fight. Peace is enjoyable to every creature.

I’ve had no trouble with stinging insects since I started viewing them as tiny strangers I was just passing on the street. Move predictably, don’t focus my eyes at them too long.

Hell, I bet bugs even learn to read animal facial expressions, just like we can see whether they’re on guard or feeling safe from their movements. A bug can see when an animal’s thinking about eating or killing it.

Incidentally imagine how terrifying an anteater must be, from the perspective of the ant. Imagine a creature towering between the buildings with a long sticky tongue seeking around, sticking as many people as possible to it, then suddenly slurping them up into the sky.

That’s pure horror.
