I blend with leaves, so hard to see,
In forests green, I hide with glee.
Jumping high, with stripes so bold,
In the fields, my tale is told
With wings so bright, I take to flight,
My colors dance in golden light.
By the sands, I make my home,
Across dry lands, I love to roam
I wear a coat of crimson hue,
A rare sight that’s bright and new.
I hum and buzz, my voice is loud,
My calls are heard above the crowd
With spines so sharp, I stand my ground,
Defensive tricks, I have them bound
In swamps and reeds, I find my stay,
Moist and wet, I love to play.
I live where snow is often seen,
Yet I still find the grass so green.
Dark as night, I hop with grace,
With stealth, I vanish without a trace.
Though small in size, my jump is wide,
Across the fields, I take a ride.
I mimic twigs, so still I stay,
Predators look, then turn away.
In meadows bright, I chirp all day,
In grassy fields, I love to play.
Some call me fierce, for I do bite,
Beware my jaws, they hold on tight.
In trees so tall, I find my space,
From leafy heights, I leap with grace.
Across the plains, I roam with ease,
The open fields are where I please.
My legs are pink, a rare delight,
A sight to see in morning light.
I’m quite large, and that’s a fact,
Among my kind, I’m hard to match.
A name I bear that’s quite well-known,
I swarm in numbers, fully grown.
I dwell near streams and places wet,
A cool breeze is what I get.
With strong front legs, I dig with might,
Underground, I hide from sight.
Though I am small, my leaps are vast,
I’m quick and agile, unsurpassed.
In jungles dense, I love to stay,
Among the leaves, I hop away.
My body shines in colors rare,
Metallic hues beyond compare.
With armor thick, I stand my ground,
Protected well when foes abound.
