Order: coleoptera
Family: Carabidae

Ground beetles! They're so shiny and fun! The texture on this one is kind of weird, I may go back and fix it, but I'm far too lazy right now.

Your coleopteras are beautiful!:-)
Did you painted them for any publication or just for interest?

no reason really- just for fun:)

These were done the winter after I took entomology and I was just really missing being out in the field catching insects. I decided to do a bunch of insect drawings to satisfy my insect obsession until spring came :D

Love your coleoptera series. Are you planning to do all the families?

Just the ones that I can find on my campus. Which will probably end up being most of them, lol.

I'm trying to decide if I should do hymenopterans next or if I should do all those weird membraneous winged insects- megalopterans, neuropterans, trichopterans, etc...

Megalopterans and Neuropterans, yeah... ;)
