It's Still Life

Day 22. Describe the most fascinating insect you have encountered during your challenge.

Aimlessly Green

A white rose leaned,
meek as if asleep.

Petals folded deep in silence,
leaves flung wide in defiance.

And there stood a rose chafer,
green like jelly, lime flavour.

And then upon seeing me,
it opened its wings, fleeing

with a sharp, short buzz,
and crashed into the fence.
