Tapping at the glass on a summer’s night, drawn to the only light in the yard--our window, and the small light glowing forth as we relaxed last evening.
As if it were someone casting pebbles upon it, the effect of capturing my attention was as great.
With flashlight in hand, I went out into the darkness to find the source.
Gathered there, 3 stag beetles.
Bumping and colliding with the glass, so strongly attracted to the light from within.
With huge mandibles and dainty comb-like antennae, a curious combination of fierceness and delicacy.
Clad in a glossy dark red jackets.
Their feet, but tiny hooks.
"Have you seen...." is an effort to discover the unusual beauty in things not usually appreciated for their beauty.
