Harmonia axyridis.
The Harlequin of beetles,
Multicolored and always in disguise.
Today you could be a ladybug,
Tomorrow you could have no spots at all.
You could be black with small red spots;
Change it up a bit, but one thing is certain,
I cannot have you in my home.
Young beetle, I implore you
Please do not infest my home.
It is not to say that you are unwelcome
Or otherwise useless or unliked.
I simply mean that you and your family
Will not be accommodated properly.
A window screen is no place
For a guest to sleep for the night;
As much as I'd let you borrow my lamp,
I'm afraid you can't sleep their, either.
You are a living being, Young Beetle,
So respect you, yes, I shall,
But your kind is one for family quality time,
And simply do not have the room.
