“Beetle Bottle”
It's either funny or serious. It may be ambiguous.
Performing beetle bugs!
It's a beetle factory!
They are advancing from some place in the air and they seem to be going up.
It could be an athletic field and the beetles are wondering how to get out.
Maybe they are going sideways. This is mystifying.
If you look closely, however, it looks like the beetles are attached to the building by metal rods; it would be hard to move.
They are climbing on metal. In fact, the only possibility is that these are the beetles that are climbing. Period.
They are gauging something as they are climbing...maybe density.
They are making clicking sounds. Maybe they are saying "Help!" They need help to get the heck out of there. (That's a good supposition.)
There are dark rooms and light rooms in the building so there must be people in it. And those people put the beetles there just because it's fun. The people are thinking: "How did we get into this place? And how do we get out?" Maybe the people feel good because it was hard work getting those beetles up. (It's true!)
It's possible there are more beetles. It looks like a big building; there could be more beetles on the building. These lady bug beetles certainly dominate the picture. The other beetles are thinking "How do we get in or out of this building?" Some of the beetles are making dinner.
If I were on the building I would want to get off! Like the beetles, I would be gauging something complicated.
Next, the beetles will start moving and get out. Or maybe more beetles will be added to the building. Well, we'll have to wait and see!
