21. Insects

Pests, obstacles, vigilance

Vigilance is necessary at this time. Heed the warning.

Pests such as insects and rodents can quickly spiral out of control if left unattended, wreaking havoc on your hard work and destroying your harvest. Sometimes it happens right under your nose, the destruction only becoming visible when it’s already too late. Vigilance is necessary for the good of your crops, otherwise what was a small problem can be the cause of something truly devastating.

This is your warning that something is quickly getting out of hand and requires your immediate attention. A larger problem is avoidable, but only if you take steps now to get things under control. This situation may have drifted below your radar but there are signs of what’s going on lingering in the back of your mind, or it could be something you haven’t wanted to deal with and made a conscious choice to avoid. Small obstacles are par for the course, and while annoying they’re easy enough to manage with proper consideration and care.
