Chrysolina Banksi – what a lovely name! I’d like to adopt it as a(nother)
pseudonym. The Chrysolina part sounds
feminine, and the Banksi bit makes me think of:
The Girl with the Pierced Eardrum / Banksy
As a lover of small things with multiple legs I’d be happy
to share the name with its original owner, this little beetle. (I’m not 100% sure that he is a Chrysolina Banksi, but he fits the description.)
I found him lying on his back on the kitchen floor last night, so I
helped him to his feet and guided him out the door. Then this morning there he was, climbing the walls. (A scenario which may or may not be familiar to
you, but you know I won’t judge).
My photos don’t do him justice, for in reality it was like
finding a shiny black bead (or pearl earring!) which when turned to the light gleamed a burnished
bronze, decorated with the finest stippling.
Absolutely beautiful.
It made me think of this too; ages since I've played it - I still like it a lot.
