Pixel Dailies #2114 - Beetle

Picasso bugs are so funky

(Confession: I misremembered them as beetles when I drew this. Oops. They're not too far off at a glance at least.)

Happy Friday everyone! Just putting the finishing touches on these two drawings.

Next up I'll be working on a T. albo, and kenyan sand boas.❤❤

Serval was done in pastel pencils on pastelmat.

Zulu bugs were done in derwent inktense, Prismacolor, and fabercastell polychomos.

Prints will be Avai1ab1e here once I finish. - www.grayghostcreations.etsy.com

The 'Picasso bug' is a type of shield bug native to Africa which genuinely looks like it has abstract patterns painted on its back

The Creature Awaits #132:

Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry.  Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

The Picasso Bug

A.K.A: The Zulu Hud Bug

In the Zulu language: iCikwa

Scientific Name: Sphaerocoris annulus

Region: Various terrains throughout Southeast Asia

Size: About 0.3" (~7.6mm) long

Interesting Notes: The beautiful, "Hand-painted" markings on this mesmerizing little insect are thought to ward off potential predators.  If this is not enough, when alarmed, they release a foul-smelling odor.  Both male and female sport the same stunning markings - always with exactly eleven spots.
