It is a two-page piece in Presto tempo, C major, 3/8 time, and ABA ternary form. Through alternating high-register passages between the left and right hands, arpeggios divided between the hands, and glissandos, the piece depicts the dizzying movements of insects, rapid wing beats, and vivid flights. One approach would be to deliberately limit pedal use to a very shallow extent, aiming for a more objective expression. It may also be optionally performed in combination with CamelWalk, which were published simultaneously.
