VOLUME XIV: Crisis
Butterfly or moth? An insect body region like those of a grasshopper. Parts observed under microscope overlap. Latin name is lepidoptera. Wings? Transparent. Slides, unorthodox jewel thieves, display nothing but faded colors.
Softly stroked drawings return scales to wings. Spiracles march down larva and ample ovals create chrysalis cradles. She corrects, rewrites words, rulers lines under titles. E+ no longer applauds work and Verna rushes to another place.
