Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 363.3 Hz, 132 cents flat of G4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A ladybug is a small, round beetle. Its red, spotted back is really a pair of hard wing cases, and under them, thin flying wings lie folded up. Its bright colors warn birds that it tastes bad. Gardeners love ladybugs, because they eat the tiny aphids that harm plants.

Tap it to open the wings: the red wing cases lift and spread, and the thin wings unfold beneath them, ready to fly. Tap again to fold them away. Counting its spots will not tell you how old a ladybug is: the number depends on the kind of ladybug. With ✋ Hands-on on, lift each red wing case open on its hinge (its wing stays folded away beneath); let go and it swings shut.
