Poor Luis spends the heat of the day chasing Maudlinbugs away from his darling bees. I haven’t said this to Luis, because I’m quite sure he’ll howl with rage if I do. But I find the Maudlinbugs adorable, myself. \n\nTheir funny short wings, glittering dust, and the way they bump into everything around them. They’re like tiny drunken revelers, each buzzing cloud its own miniature party!

All that Glitters

Maudlinbug Music

The dream I had last night was unlike any other. \n\nThe creature spoke with a thousand small, buzzing voices, a chorus both rapturous and painful to my ears. “The song, the sssong! We wish only for the sssong!” A universe of beaded, jeweled eyes stared unblinking. Dust poured from their myriad glittering wings. \n\nI awoke with a pounding head from Luis’s mead, and a new melody in my heart.

My Midsummer Night's Dream

Last Night's Dream

My tiny patrons approve! The Maudlinbugs adore my new tune. They gather and dance around me in whirling clouds. And dear Luis and his beehives can finally have some peace and quiet for the rest of summer. \n\nI think I’ll take this little show on the road, though I’ll have to find a suitable tailor first. The darling little Maudlinbugs cover everything with their dust, and my new garb must match theirs.
