While taking a stroll in the memorial park (in the middle of the city) I found another female stag beetle and started sketching ;) but in a minute kids were screaming "here! It's bigger, it has horns!" and I saw this oak tree - full of stag beetles of all sizes!

Great sketches, it's years since I've seen a Stag Beetle
ReplyDeleteLove these sketches--looks like you found a beetle party ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou've really captured those insect-y legs and feet! I like stag beetles, we had one in the house a year or so ago...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and lively sketches! I wish I could have seen them, too, but this is the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteThey are endangered species and this is indeed a treasure!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for wonderful comments!
It's a great sketchbook you're putting together!
