American Eel
Born at sea, raised in rivers.
Born at sea, raised in rivers.
Feelers first. Pincers ready.
The basement-dwelling "black beetle"
Armored river giant of the Atlantic
Vermiculations in the cold current
The flour pest that never quits
Small beetle, big forest change
Spider look, beetle build-ptinids!
Monsoon's giant longhorn at your porchlight
Built for battles, born from decay
Rainforest titan with iron jaws
Fan antennas, mighty diggers, big jobs
Piercing beaks, aquatic assassins
Sift the sand, find the feast.
Snap. Click. Flip. Survive.
Warm-bodied hunter of the mid-ocean
Silver rockets of the surf
Three horns. One mighty Atlas.
Real gold-made of light.
The bacon-loving beetle of the larder
The spotted scarab of the vines
Headstand. Stink. Survive.
Coleoptera's freshwater engineers
Ten stripes. One big night flier.
