Dung beetle watercolor illustration PRINT

Dung beetles are fascinating insects that play an important role in the ecosystem by helping to decompose animal waste. They have specialized adaptations, such as strong legs and horns for rolling and digging, and an excellent sense of smell to locate dung. Homeschoolers can learn about dung beetle taxonomy.
This stunning watercolor painting showcases the intricate details of a dung beetle in vivid color. I have captured the beetle's shiny exoskeleton, intricate pattern, and spherical form with incredible accuracy. The subtle use of shadow and light brings the beetle to life on the page, making it seem almost ready to crawl off. The unique subject matter and beautiful execution make this painting a true work of art.

I printed these on 100% textured white cotton paper with archival inks, for you to get a print with the look & feel of an original watercolor.

I sign each print by hand before shipping so every print has been touched by the artist's hands.
Available in three different sizes.

Each painting is designed to provide a death-free alternative to having your favorite insects on your wall.

This watercolor would make a lovely addition to the home of any nature lover or bug collector, or anyone with an appreciation for these unique creatures.
