EARWIG IN THE HOLLYHOCK FLOWER

At first I only saw the last part of this creature, because she (or he of course) was hiding under a petal. I thought it a funny face. I carefully lifted that petal to take a picture, but soon enough she moved away from it and into the heart of the flower.
A whole day outside in der garden, on my knees, removing the moss between the stones at the backyard. In the meantime Piet Hein used the Kärger to clean the terrace.
How busy we both were all day.

My haiku:

Did you fly earwig?
Or did you walk all the way
Up owards the heart?

And the proverb:

Easy come, easy go.

1832-8  S. Warren, Diary of L. Phys. xxii.
