The inspiration for my website came from the poem "Seen From Above" written by Wislawa Szymborska in Polish. The poem was originally published in Poland. The poem was then translated by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh and published on May 28th, 1995 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in New York. The translated poem was published in the book of selected poems View with a Grain of Sand: Selected Poems.
As for selecting the specific type of beetle to focus on, I chose the Halyomorpha halys species because they are invasive in my own home.
