Onymacris Candidipennis, oil on tiny canvas, 2.5 x 3.5"

My students would agree that the classroom insect book can often be found on my desk. I've decided to start a series of small bug paintings and think they'll look nice in groups of two or more. While I prefer to work from life, my dead bug collection is still pretty small, so I'm using library books for now. Please keep your eyes peeled for any mailable critters.
