Silent beauty, Taenaris catops;

Do you sleep in the day like an owl ?

For only a short while your life hops,

Almost one third of a  year is enough.

Silky to the touch Taenaris catops,

Forest and marshes you inhabit,

For those mimicking eyes to pop.

Wouldn't you prefer meadow flowers?

Or sampling farmer's crops?

Or ravaging through farmyard sops?

Guess you are just Taenaris catops.
