Who am I? Who indeed! Who says I'm a hunter? I'll make them bleed! Who says I'm wise? I'll claw out their eyes! Who says I love night? I'll give them a fright! Who? WHO?!

I'm named for two creatures often unseen, One mythical, one common. I resemble neither, but am sized in-between. As a nymph I begin, learning to hover and dart. Vigilant with eyes that win, Hunting is my art.

I'm present wherever you are. As important as I am to you, you often don't pay attention to me until you're outside in the cold. Suddenly I'm fascinating until I'm not.

You take me in when I'm a baby, You share your food, help me grow, I may even become taller than you, But you should've followed your gut, For all I bring is pain and sickness

I'm a green child, A blonde adult, A brown elder, You separate me from my folk before skinning me
