Very nice!I like the way you have added the point that, unlike the scorpion and the fly and the serpent, the wicked mind will cause us harm even when it is not hurt or alarmed.- Anand

Translation of a verse from nIthi veNbA:
ஈக்கு விடம்தலையில் எய்துமிருந் தேளுக்கு
வாய்த்த விடம் கொடுக்கில் வாழுமே-நோக்கரிய
பைங்கணர வுக்குவிடம் பல்லளவே துர்ச்சனருக்
கங்கமுழு தும்விடமே யாம்.
The fly has poison in his head,
The scorpion in his sting, instead;
In case of the serpent we observe
Its fangs, the poison do preserve;
While in the wicked and evil mind,
Poison all over their being we find
Thus worse indeed are the evil and sly,
More than the scorpion, serpent and fly
For unless the latter you hurt or alarmThey will not cause you any harm.-Raji( ராஜி)--

Ah.. could be.. not heard of this one( thanks for the link!) but there are other types of fly poisons.. the ones that have alkaloids, release neurotoxins ( native to parks in Virginia I think) don’t remember the exact botanical name..then there are others. Poison can also refer to disease I guess that can cause bacterial infection, dysentery etc.. then there is the well known tsetse fly causing sleeping sickness ; even fruit flies known to cause food poisoning and allergic reactions..many others - any such insect that likely releases toxins I suppose.
