For I'd like to share some art from early Art Nouveau artist M. P. Verneuil, who was making bugs beautiful during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

"Stag Beetles and Mushrooms"
"Butterflies and Wood Sorrel"
"Butterflies and Dragonflies"

Another set of paintings to kick off bumble bees! B. bifarius, B. vosnesenskii, and B. melanopygus (plus bonus horizontal vos), a handful of Sierra Nevada meadow species.

For one of my favorite comics from last year.
It was by a lecture from Dr Daniel Kronauer, for whom said buttbeetle is named!
