Insect Collecting Haiku

" Insect Collecting Haiku "

by Suzán Jiván

for Rebecca, Russ
Kenny, Jimmy
Mark, Danielle & Eric...

I

Collecting insects
butterfly nets, pitfall traps
microhabitats

II

Tropical regions
leaf-inhabiting species
sieving leaf litter

III

Luring, baiting bugs
rotting fruit, animal dung
using a pooter

IV

Making compost heaps
decaying vegetable waste
rotting logs near ponds

V

Simply sit and watch
a spider spinning its silk
infinite wisdom...
