Night Flights of the Coir Scarabs

As evening falls, the coconuts begin to wake up. Cracks form along their hairy carapaces. Elytra snap open and forward, revealing gossamer wings. They take flight, unfurling milk-white mouthparts which drip opaque gata and ichor over the world below. They bombinate about the night city with their unfeasible bulk hanging in the air until dawn troubles the sky. Then they return once again to their daytime roosts, to sleep suspended amid the feathery crowns of palms.
