Cobwebs Shiver | Tenodera aridifolia sinensis

Cobwebs shiver with her tiniest move,
a mantis nymph rules an underworld
ready for a brutal reckoning,
the next instar a far-off dream.

    Ps. I tried a bit of your patience in my photographs, what do you think of it, Rick? (if I might be so bold;))
    A tiny fraction in time A little gush of wind<br />

A generip traveling towards rebirth.<br />
