Hello Greebo! Coelacanth sent me.
*Elfin opens a small brown cardboard box with a red ribbon on top. Inside is a pretty bug with butterfly type wings all shimmering like a bubble. It has a rainbow coloured body. It is rather shy.*

I'm hesitant to enter my bug, after seeing the competition, but I think he really, really wants to race.
/* Produces a jar with a hole in the lid. Inside is a battered old brown bug with a missing leg, a scar on the left wing, and a bent antenna. */
I've had him since I was 7 years old. Most people call him "Ick."

Hmmm, I can see why he's called that.

I see you have the first race filled out. I'd be pleased if you'd enter 'bRoach' in the second round.
