All the World's a Stage

Dozens of longhorn flower beetles swarm the magnolia blossom, males banging into one another, males and females copulating, some flopping into the ground cover, both sexes flying awkwardly, ridiculously long antennae like floppy frontal pigtails.

This one, for a moment, might well be mistaken for some clown preparing for his entrance through a velvet curtain. May he do well.
