I'm sure you only blocked out the galaxy for a moment! :D
I'd heard something like that, Ava T-B, but I never mentally connected it to this little guy! I was standing there with a camera and he was probably thinking "Get out of the way! You're blocking the galaxy!"
Did you know that dung beetles navigate using the Milky Way?!
