The Twelve Bat Days of Christmas

An animated beetleOn the first day of Christmas
My little bat sent to me
A beetle crawling on a tree

Two grasshoppers and
A beetle crawling on a tree

A beetle crawling on a tree

Four stinky stink bugs, three dragonflies,

Two grasshoppers and
A beetle crawling on a tree

Eleven plant hoppers hopping, ten katydids singing,

Four stinky stink bugs, three dragonflies,
Two grasshoppers and
A beetle crawling on a tree

On the twelfth day of Christmas
My little bat gave to me
Twelve borers boring, eleven plant hoppers hopping,
Ten katydids singing, nine cicadas buzzing,
Eight ants a-crawling, seven crickets chirping, six flies a-flying,
Five tasty moths,
Four stinky stink bugs, three dragonflies,
Two grasshoppers and
A beetle crawling on a tree
