Beetle on Bark Above Glacial Stream

by Aiden White

Hard, dry mountain light strikes a rough patch of tree bark where a dark beetle stands motionless. The insect's shell reflects a sharp glint against the matte texture of the wood. Below, a glacial stream cuts through the landscape, its surface shimmering with cold, pale blue water. Fine mist rises from the rushing current, settling on the bark and creating tiny droplets that rest on the beetle's legs. The background dissolves into the bright, hazy outline of distant dry mountains. The beetle's antennae twitch slightly, poised for movement. One droplet of water hangs from a twig tip, refracting the harsh noon sun.
