Compare with this: Michelsen - Proposal of Karliella gen. n. for the Afrotropical ‘Pegomya’ sexpunctata Karl, 1935 (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), a Possible Kleptoparasite of Dung-Breeding Beetles (African Invertebrates, 54(2):335-347 (2013))
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.
