First design in 2018 !! Happy new Year :D

Designed and folded by me

one uncut square of Himalaya Paper ( ~ 30 gsm )

28x28 cm

This model is based on a 32x32 grid.

It seems that many of the insects in the insectarium were arranged by color. The moth at bottom is not a close relative to the mantid above. On the other hand their colors seem to complement each other.

Icheumon?

I should like an ID!

The magnificent butterfly, probably most peoples favorite insect. There are over 24,000 varieties of them in the world, they can't fly unless their body temperature is at least 86 degrees, Antarctica is the only continent that does not have butterflies, the longest life span of any butterfly is only 9-10 months, and they are represented in Egypt pyramids.....Just some interesting tidbits that make them even more interesting.

Have not made an attempt to classify this species. It is a rather large insect, body size approx 2 cm. Insect-on-glass-111014(1)

In case anyone is looking to display some insect beauty with functionality, I just finished my calendar for 2023, I chose only insects again this time, a selection from some of my favorite photos from the past few years featuring some weird and beautiful bugs from the Atlantic forest

Here is the back of my insect book inspired by Christopher Marley's Pheromone, an amazing book of photographed insects. I got his permission to post my sketches.

Thanks for visiting,

suggestions and comments are welcome.

This morning my wife pointed out some interesting insect eggs on the white shade cloth over the green beans. I had to go grab the camera and take this picture,

Soldier beetles, doing what comes naturally!

Insectes

This is yet another entry to the 2016 MOCAthalon. I took inspiration from Sean and Steph Mayo’s terrarium and insect collection builds.

The terrarium contains a beetle, two ants, a millipede, a butterfly, a ladybug, and a stick bug.

By eating insects/bugs they get the majority of the nutrients/proteins.

A little hoverfly visiting my daisy plant which is still flowering nicely although the sightings of the insects as we now into early Autumn are becoming less of late.
