It is a small creature resembling a beetle
The poet said:
O servants of God, my heart is captivated by the most beautiful of those who walk, and the ugliest of them in marriage
It creeps upon her insides every night like a scorpion, climbing a flat, sandy hill
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proverb "more creepy than a beetle" (referring to creeping, not to manners) is used to describe someone who crawls or moves slowly and stealthily, or who clings to something excessively. A beetle is a small insect similar to a lily.
There is no exact English equivalent, but the closest equivalents in meaning are:
He crawls like a beetle.
To creep around like a bug.
To cling like a limp.
To crawl on all fours.
If the intention is to convey the proverb's figurative meaning, the best equivalent is:
He creeps around like a beetle.
Or, in the context of excessive clinging:
He clings like a limp.

وهي دويبة شبه الخنفساء
قال الشاعر
ألا يا عباد الله قلبي متيم بأحسن من يمشي وأقبحهم بعلا
يدب على أحشائها كل ليلة دبيب القرنبى بات يعلو نقا سهلا
