From Wikipedia

The Beetle Monuments (Polish: Pomniki chrząszcza) are two similar monuments in Szczebrzeszyn, Poland, statues of an amphomorphic beetle wearing a dinner suit and a top hat, and playing on a fiddle. The monuments allude to the Polish tongue twister poem Chrząszcz by Jan Brzechwa, which the town is widely associated with among the Poles. Its first line reads: W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie (translation: In Szczebrzeszyn a beetle buzzes in the reeds). The phrase is a famous Polish tongue twister. The statues present an insect from the orthoptera order (grasshopper or a cricket), rather than a beetle.
