@curls-cat submitted: no id needed i just bought this print and wanted to show you bc i saw it and immediately shouted 'TORTOISE BEETLES' in the antique store so thank you for enriching my life w knowledge of tortoise beetles 💗
They are beautiful and I love them! Especially the lower left fellow....
unfortunately the bottoms of them are a disaster, they all stuck to the kiln shelf. they’re not smooth and touchable like I wanted, so I put magnets on the back. they’re still so pretty on top
(they’re also the reason I cut my thumb :( those cute jerks)
