An insect-themed pair of haiku this Sunday…
Flit
Pollen-laden flit
from bobbing thistle onto
ensconcing foxglove.
Flutter
Cobweb-streaked glow of
a porchlight in summer gloom –
powdered wings flutter.

Fabulous and fitting!
The second one makes me think of when I was a kid and we had a yellow bulb in the garage light which was supposed to be less attractive to moths, but no. They fluttered all around it. Summer nights! Your words catch that scene.
