Protoclythia modesta seems fine; I'm envious, for I never saw a pair of any species in copula collecting Paltypezidae in hundreds from Kenya to Kazakhstan...
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.
