Five Horned Rhino Beetle Watercolor Illustration PRINT

This is a print of my original watercolor painting of a Rhino beetle specimen.

Eupatoris gracilicornis is a member of the Scarabaeidae (scarab beetle) family, within the Dynastinae (Rhinoceros beetle) subfamily in particular. It has been found in China, India, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Unlike most other Rhinoceros beetles, which have two horns, E. gracilicornis has five: two extending laterally from each side of the prothorax, and one larger than the rest extending anteriorly from the center of the head. Its thick, shiny exoskeleton is jet-black, while its forewings are a varied shade of golden yellow. The species is capable of flight, albeit not very efficient flight due to its large size (ranging from 50mm to 95mm) and relatively weak wings

Two sizes available.

I believe that Beetles are like jewels, the shiny shell and the magnificent look inspired me to paint this beetle.

I printed these on off white glicee paper with archival inks, for you to get a print with the highest quality.

I sign each print by hand before shipping so every print has been touched by the artist's hands.

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.
