against the fall of night, arthur c. clarke

When Krif was resting, his sex gauzy wings lay folded along his body, which glittered through them like a jewelled scepter. He was at once the highest and most beautiful form of insect life the world had ever known--the latest and perhaps the last of all the creatures Man had chosen for his companionship.

1953.
