" 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...
