insects versus humans

I was thinking the other day, and this is sort of rambling, but you know what's crazy? There are like a trazillion bugs and flies all over the planet, I am guessing hundreds or thousands of times more insects than humans (judging by my legs after wearing shorts for 2 days anyhow), agreed? But it's crazy that I, and you if you're reading this, happened to be born a human being, which I think it's fair to say is a better deal than being born an insect (we smell better, have better selection in clothes, etc.). So anyway, that's just pretty crazy, it's probably a million to one shot that we weren't born to be insects instead of humans right? We are all lucky people.

Unfortunately, I personally was born to be the kind of human that 2 minutes after realizing the wonderful thought I have explained above, had to ruin it by comparing it to the odds that I'd be born in Hawaii instead of Canada, or rich, or good-looking, etc. Oops!
