Harvest comes later this year
combines in the field
separate soybeans from chaff
thrash the corn
aphids go down with the stalk
imported Japanese beetles
ladybugs and Asian lady beetles
(hard to tell the difference)
fly away home
try to survive the long winter

The beetles will have to go somewhere for the winter as well.

I so wonder where they go… but come summer and they are back again

I love the title – I still say the rhyme when I see ladybirds in the garden – and what colourful beetles they are in the image! I like the way you have packed your poem with harvest activity:
‘separate soybeans from chaff
thrash the corn
aphids go down with the stalk’.
I think it’s sad when then insects all disappear for the winter – except, of course, spiders that like to join us indoors!
