This is a Chrysina Argenteolalive, otherwise known as a Jeweled Scarab or June Beetle. I am just facinated by the sheen these bugs have and all the different colors they come in! They're irresistible to capture in a drawing!

I used to love tying a string on one of their legs and watch them fly around! Course I was just a kid then. (when you're an only child you got to do something to entertain yourself) Beautiful rendition elly. You captured the sheen very well.

Beautiful elly! This is even nicer than the one you did a long time back...gorgeous

Cameo, I used to do that with house flies! Talk about a challenge! We should have used beetles, sounds a little easier! PS>I don't think we had beetles like this where I come from though!

Thank you oikitsumaru, friend, and Pakka.

dave, I think I liked the bkgd on the first one I did but I like these colors better =) Thanks *hug*

Putting bees in jars and shaking it to make them angry then letting them go and running like hell. Anyone else do this? Anyone?

It's so shiney, I like the shiney.
elly (Mar 24, 2007)
Sweet, YOU'RE CRAZY!!!!! (how'd you get them in a jar in the first place? You had to catch 'em somehow!!)
