Draw inspiration
from the wings of butterflies:
Nature's bright artworks
Identify them
by the upper sides of wings
as they flutter by
What of under sides?
Some demure, some dramatic
Don't overlook them.
The common eggfly
(Hypolimas bolina).
Subtle mosaic
This one is a male.
Females are polymorphic:
Multiple patterns
Small green-banded blue
(Psychonotis caelius)
prefers rainforest
Adults dance in sun
while caterpillars feed on
Alphitonia
And now I should stop
Because all this poetry
Has gone to my head.
