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.
