Poems about bugs
I KNEW Desiree would bite on this one-- after all, she literally has a Ph.D. in bugs!:
Lucrative world of
butterfly ecology.
That's what hubby says.
But it was the best
animal to study with
three kids alongside.
The kids are now grown,
can ID monarchs, sulphurs,
tiger swallowtails.
They told me giraffes
would have been cooler; they're wrong.
Bugs are magical.
And Christine brought up one of the more disturbing parts of the insect world:
The Praying Mantis
at summers end eats its mate
fascinating bug.
Finally, this one from my dad was pretty awesome:
I like ants 'cause they
relentlessly work to please
their queen, just like me.
