Artist's notes:

glorious beetle thumb The Glorious Beetle was part of a five illustration series of beetles I created in 2004 (color was added to the original black and white versions in 2007.) Beetles are amazing insects and I love to illustrate them when I can. Their vibrant colors are beautiful and I always enjoy the random encounters I have with them.

Information about the Glorious Beetle:

The Glorious Beetle is part of the order Coleoptera and family Scarabaeidae. They're oval shaped with bright green shells with darker green stripes. They are herbivores and inhabit Juniper trees in the southwestern part of the US and into Mexico. Their green coloring helps them blend in with the surrounding vegetation. They are considered endangered due to habit loss.
