on a tree, the moth looks like a pair of eyes framed in a hidey-hole. on marble steps, the moth just looks like a moth.

Spotless [Common Meter]
The Ladybug of my childhood had polka-dots of black, adorning the split red shell that covered its wings and back. So, who erased this bug's black dots to make it less dice-like, making it a Lady in red? Said thief can take a hike. I had so many fine questions, but it just flew away. Maybe a bug somewhere out there has more spots coming its way.
