Next, the fireflies moved into position to form a glowing, floating Union Jack. The insect orchestra began their first number, “God the Save the Queen,” and the entire audience felt obliged to stand. At the conclusion of the song, the fireflies burst into pinwheels, shooting stars, and tumbling cascades of light. The audience burst into thunderous applause.

Then the lights went up to reveal a boldly patterned wall of color. As the music began, the audience could see a figure moving away from the wall that had until now been camouflaged in the pattern—it was a girl entirely covered with butterflies, moths, grasshoppers, and cicadas! As she danced to the music, the winged creatures slowly ascended from her dress and joined her in the dance. Gradually, the patterned wall behind Robin dissolved as other insects took flight, so that they all waltzed around her in a whirlwind of color and magic. As the orchestra reached the last notes of the song, the luna moth rested on her forehead, and other smaller butterflies came to alight upon the top of her head to form a crown. Then Robin made an elegant curtsy and exited the stage with the colorful entourage in her wake.
