The whirligig beetles are rare and fast With an organ to detect the ripples The arachnid moths lay their eggs inside other insects along the borders of fields or roads in clusters of white cocoons The ribbed pinebore is a long horn beetle Their antenna are half the length of their body And they feed on dead red pine Robber flies, with their immobile heads Inject a paralyzing fluid into their prey That they snatch from life in mid-air The snow flea's mode of locomotion is strange and odd With a spiny tail organism with hooks And a protruded tube from the abdomen to enable moisture absorption The female praying mantis devours the male while they are mating The male sometimes continues copulating Even after the female has bitten off his head and part of his upper torso Every night wasps bite into the stems of plants Lock their mandibles into position Stretch out at right angles to the stem and With their legs dangling They fall asleep If one places a minute amount of liquor upon a scorpion It will instantly go mad And sting itself to death The bombadeer beetle when disturbed Will defend itself by emitting a series of explosions Sometimes letting off four or five blasts in succession The noises sound like miniature pop gun blasts And are accompanied by a reddish coloured vile smelling fluid It is commonly known that ants keep slaves Certain species, the so-called saguinary ants in particular Will raid the nests of other ant tribes and kill the queen And then carry off many of the workers The workers are brought back to the hive Where they are coerced into performing menial tasks And as we discussed last semester The army ants will leave nothing but your bones Perhaps you've encountered some of these insects in your communities Displaying both their predatory and defence characteristics While embedded within the walls of flesh And passing for what is most commonly recognised As human |
