Beetles Haiku

" Beetles Haiku "

by Suzán Jiván

Parallel sided
noticeable striations
many species fly

In touch with larvae
wedge-shaped Bess Beetles, Betsy
fungi in the gut

Chew wood into pulp
rubbing inside leaf-cutters
plush antennal clubs

Hump-backed companions
slightly flattened abdomens
distinctively black

Brash eating habits
pieces of dead animals
as drastic scarabs...
