Insect Life of Florida

In the land of sun and sea

A world of diversity

A place where insects thrive

At home in Florida

From buzzing bees

For beautiful butterflies

Every creature has a role to play

In Insect Life of the Heart of Florida

Fireflies light up the night

With their radiant joy

When the cicadas sing their song

Day and night

Dragonflies dance in the water

With motions like nothing else

And ladybugs bring luck to everyone

When they crawl and fly, very small

Butterflies in all shades and colors

Spread joy and news and fly away

Beauty all around

In this land-rich

In deep swamps and marshes

The mighty crocodile lives and sleeps fast

And the fire ants march in line

Building colonies is very divine

Grasshoppers jump and jump

While the crickets chirped and peeped

And spiders spin their webs

To capture their prey, with skill and determination

In Insect Life of Florida

There is a balance without conflict

Each plays its part

In this complex web of art

So let's marvel at the wonders

Of these small creatures, the most massive and pure

In Insect Life of Florida

There is a beauty that lasts forever.
