Subreption

SUBREPTION

–noun
1. Canon Law. a concealment of the pertinent facts in a petition, as for dispensation or favour, that in certain cases nullifies the grant.
2. Scots Law. the act of obtaining something, as an escheat, by concealing pertinent facts.

There’s true subreption
In its acting nonchalant
Insects? What insects?
