BEETLES



Beetles are AMAZING.

They look like a tank.

And they can FLY.

THEY CAN FLY!!!!!!!!!!!
:0

(Some of them even spray a powerful fluid
that stings the eyes.)

I like beetles.

They’re very communal.

But there’s still a solitary appeal

They’re also great because they’re an agent of chaos, but with no allegiance to morals - they just do their job.

The beetles we like are the ones that don’t eat the really important crops.

Says a lot.

I like beetles.

I like truth.

Try not to cry
when they fly
away from you.
