Whereas the 1st 2 stanzas conjure up an image of a deer fly, these last 2 would be more applicable to a mosquito.

Chrysops
?J.G. Needham, 1930
The last 2 of 4 stanzas:

Beautiful feet
So trim, so neat
So lightly bearing her form petite
As light as air
So unaware
They rest unnoticed upon a hair:
Such are the feet
Of this being petite.

Beatutiful sprite
Of form so light
So trim, so airy, so expedite
So big a terror
For such a mite
So quick to see, so prone to bite
How does she carry
Her appetite?
