Another quarantined weekend meant time painting plates for the field guide to #beetles of southern Europe. Ground beetles of the subgenus Platycarabus, which occur in the #Alps and in some cases beyond. The subgenus contains extremes of cephalic development. Species in comment

Another weekend spent indoors, of course, illustrating a plate of #dungbeetles for a field-guide to European beetles that I am slowly working on. They are in slightly exaggerated style, to accentuate diagnostic features. Alcohol markers on paper. Can you recognise them? #sciart

Merry Christmas everyone! Joyeux Noël à tout le monde! Feliz Natal para todos! Buon Natale a tutti! Felíz Navidad a todos!

@LepanusLady @americanbeetles @paleeoguy Great paintings @LepanusLady! I occasionally paint my beloved beetles, and aeroplanes that my grandfather flew against during the Second World War, although usually not together!

I'd like to wish my little sister Caroline @GalacticZoo a very happy birthday today! This year she's getting a painting of stunning Carabus splendens from the Pyrénées to add to her fast-growing gallery of #beetle #SciArt! She must be the world's foremost reluctant entomologist!

@AshWhiffin Happy Birthday! The absolutely most classical of all blue #beetles, the gorgeous and simply incontournable Hoplia coerulea, such an essential sight along riverbanks of southern #France (I made the painting for sister's birthday, but sure she won't mind me sharing it) #BlueBugs

Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! Feliz Natal! Buon Natale! ¡Feliz Navidad!
...from the rather festive "carabe de Solier", Chrysocarabus solieri! :) #coleoptera #beetle
