I love beetles!!! I loved especially learning about this beetle, the patent-leather beetle, after encountering a bunch of them at work (and incorporating them into a piece of client artwork I'll share with you in a few months!). I personally had no idea there were beetles that lived such similar lives to human beings. I also find it amusing that humans are considered "presocial" in our social structure--as TRUE social behavior (AKA "eusocial" behavior) is on the level of colony-dwelling organisms like bees, ants, and termites (and naked mole rats). I wonder if I could audit an entomology course... Can anyone recommend a really good bug Youtuber or online class? #beetles #patentleatherbeetle #sketching #naturesketching #naturestudy #cutebeetles #messysketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CdyGJ4CLeUn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
