It is an epic simile. This is because the comparisons are "long and involved". The main difference between an epic simile (also known as Homeric simile) and an ordinary simile is than an epic simile is very detailed and can span over many lines. Where as a normal simile usually is contained within one or two lines.

Example of epic simile:

But swift Aias the son of Oïleus would not at all now take his stand apart from Telamonian Aias,
not even a little; but as two wine-coloured oxen straining
with even force drag the compacted plough through the fallow land,
and for both of them at the base of the horns the dense sweat gushes;
only the width of the polished yoke keeps a space between them
as they toil down the furrow till the share cuts the edge of the ploughland;
so these took their stand in battle, close to each other.

Normal simile:

As white as a ghost

Hope this helps !!

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

If I had the ability to communicate with animals, I would write a book describing their feelings, I would try to survey as many species as possible to see how we could benefit them in an ethical way, and I would personally speak to Gerard and other ladybugs to understand how they appear to Mrs.
