A sunburst diving beetle from last year's Invertober

I love insects. I painted this rhinoceros beetle in my Etchr sketchbook with QoR watercolors using Pentel water brushes. Fascinating how these little creatures can lift 850 times their weight! 🪲 What’s your favorite insect to draw or paint?

It's still National Moth Week, right?

Here's a polyphemus moth in it's larval form, preparing to manifest its full moth-ness.
