Came across this gorgeous beetle last night, it's called a Cockchafer and it's part of the scarab family 🐞I ended up having another one stuck in my hair after finding this lil guy, he was covered in cobwebs so gave him a Lil clean and untangled his legs. I have never seen one before! #cockchafer #maybeetle #beetle #insects

finally finished my slightly more technical cockchafer (Melontha melontha) drawing in between dissertation work :') hope you enjoy :D

kind of inspired from the illsutrations of this little bug book (from 1951):

"an insect book for the pocket" one of the cutest guide book names ever
