The Creature That Ate The Mushrooms I Wanted To Photograph, Guess What? You're Modeling!

Pine sawyer beetle

Hopes I might be good eating

I am far too tough

Yet tender, gentle

I do not begrudge his try

Can't help it, small bot

Down and back you go

Ground dwelling mushroom eater

Cleanse palate of me

Home again, again

Searching my beetle buddy

"Bite" in top search terms

Given enough time

He'd work his way all through me

I ain't standing still
