Ctenolepisma ciliata
A creature dwells, so small and grand,
Ctenolepisma is its name,
A primitive insect, not quite the same.
It scurries about, light as a feather,
From Spain it hails, with pride it boasts,
In subarid habitats, it loves the most.
This little insect, it does teach,
Its dorsal pattern, a sight to see,
Uniformly brownish or greyish, with iridescence so free.
Adorn its abdomen, like never before,
Anatomic differences, so fine,
Setation and scales, a microscopic design.
With its beauty and grace, a tiny feature,
Ctenolepisma, we sing your praise,
In the Mediterranean basin, you amaze.
