Inspiration:
    I was at school and it was pretty windy outside. There was a beetle on the ground in the middle of a big plot of sidewalk, very far away from the edges. Worse yet it was totally subject to the winds as there was no cover. The beetle kept running around aimlessly probably looking for some sort of cover but in the few minutes I watched, it never found any.
