Click Beetle - Living Catapult

Dr Abe V Rotor
Click Beetle (kuddo Ilk) Family Elateridae, Order Coleoptera*

Sweet memories brings a wit long laid,
when I was a child I played,
your game of click-click-click,
telling me if life's bright or bleak.

I asked how many friends or money I had,
by clicking, I knew what you said;
and pressing your breast, my wish implied,
all I wanted, you complied. 






*The thorax-abdomen joint  is equipped with a catapult lock. When released it produces a clicking sound and the force it creates can bring back the insect from upside to normal position.
