Strictly solitary, slightly scary, skilled at a striking scorpion-like stance, and somewhat suitable for the spooky season...? It's the devil's coach-horse beetle (Ocypus olens) !

A fallen leaf collects
fair sparking pools
All lolling, each reflects;
they're startling jewels

An amazing and aspiring arboreal avatar, adorned with an admirable autumnal aura, ascends!

A mossy marvel stoutly stands
& reaches out with wooden hands
to weave a lush and leafy screen
among a silent, shadowed scene

Every enchanted and elegant eye,
even in the ebullience of early morn,
is enclosed by embers of evening sky
and an essence of ethereal dawn

Magenta petals meet the mist,
as many miniature stems twist;
morning meadows quietly kissed
in mystic moments that persist

May this resilient rover go about its business in peace. Tinier land-based cousins of giant isopods like Bathynomus giganteus, these superb stalwarts support ecosystems worldwide, breaking down dead plant matter & enriching the soil with nutrients.

A spotted stag is calmly stood
beneath the bowers of the wood;
with mossy bark and autumn's hood,
he shows his crown as monarchs should

As if to say yea to its rippling cycle,
nature displays a special triple spiral

A bright white & magenta bloom
dispels any autumnal gloom
For petals, like a frilly plume:
only the subtlest perfume

Long will this sheer scene remain?
Or will damp dear dreams regain?
With a sincere season's rain,
this may be a stream again!

Calm & cradled, a crimson bud
peeping out from a peeling hood,
revealing, just as nature should,
secrets fostered in fertile mud

Awe first enhances,
draws immersed glances,
far verses, dances,
starbursts of branches!

Serenity in sunlight shows;
timeless tower of timber grows
A bark-clad beam in bracken glows
Through the leaves, a quiet breeze blows
