There are so many varieties of these creatures; beautiful, and exotic too!
Six - legged Beauties

Black and white insects
And multicoloured too.

Some are fast and
some are slow,
some are captors,
others, their prey,
some whirr their wings,
while others are silent,
some light up their bodies,
while others do not;

so many different creatures,
and yet, almost the same!
