#housefly

here's a cute bug

here's another louse to practice my insect realism, i feel like i've progressed alot since the last time i drew one

Capture a moment in my eye,

See a housefly whizzing on by,

Feeling its small face,

Didn’t know better,

But look outside, rainy weather.

Capture a season in my house,

It’s cold in here, catching a mouse,

Snaggletooth feline,

Didn’t know better,

But look aside, there is a louse.

Well, it ain’t all so good,

And so we all sigh ‘round and ‘round,

Our fence is coming down,

Paint a picture of our downtown.

I held an apple out,

Let’s see what rots inside.

Our teeth are decaying,

And so we all sigh ‘round and ‘round,

We crawl, our eyes look down,

Housefly. Les merveilles du monde invisible. Marvels of the invisible world. 1866.
