Fly
One wing pair. Endless roles.
One wing pair. Endless roles.
Crustaceans that compost the forest floor
Feathers, flight, and endless variety
One pair per segment. All predator.
Larval lanterns of the night
Nature's nighttime clean-up crew
Soil's quiet recyclers with many legs
Reef royalty with a wardrobe change
Spines, jaws, and ocean power
Beauty with a sting.
Small crustaceans, big ocean jobs
Tails, trails, and total regeneration
Dig deep. Breed fast. Vanish again.
Andes' secret gardener in fur
Elytra on, world conquered.
Sideways masters of every shore
From reef cleaners to river giants
Small spider, big reputation.
Tiny polyps, massive oceans
Tiny toes, big grip.
Porous powerhouses of the sea
Whiskers, spines, and river smarts
Tadpole larva, siphon-powered adult
Australia's wild voice of the outback
