*Thus far 400,000
species discovered
a quantity dissonance
ghastly overwhelming..
40% of insect species
30% of all animals..
worthy representatives
of animal kingdom..?
Greek named
Coleoptera
not Cleopatra..!
"sheathed wing"
potential flight..
pheromones
stimulate and gather..
Vibrations join
with all creation..
Similarities
these big four:
Adephaga
Archostemata
Myxophaga
Polyphaga
land and aquatic..
Air Fire Water Earth
complete with
surprise members:
Ladybugs
Fireflies
Lightening bugs
allusions to
Fortune and Light....*
