It Looks Like a Twig, It Crawls Like a Twig, It's a ---

The heat is soaring; No breeze to allay; Little puff clouds drifting, Magnolia leaves falling, No moisture in sight, A twig lay on the bannister, Or that’s what it tries to be, It is a long camouflaged insect Yearning to be free. Fly away, twigged bug, And message the clouds to rain.

A lovely, entertaining poem, Sunlite! Many insects and other creatures rely on camouflage...thus they can see without being seen:) I hope your twigged bug will help deliver some much needed rain; despite watering, my garden is yearning for a good downpour! Regards // paul

Having a little roof garden full of different plants and with the heat rising to 95-100 I see the picture dearest, Sunlite! Much enjoyed!

It's amazing to me that this "bug" is about 1-1/2" long and looks exactly like a fallen twig. Thank you for your comment.
