This little beetle is a farmer's best friend, and it bleeds from its knees to survive. A single seven-spot ladybird can eat more than 5,000 aphids in its lifetime, guarding crops without a drop of pesticide #insects #nature #ladybug #beetle

This stunning insect is a Rainbow Stag Beetle (Phalacrognathus muelleri), a protected species in Australia. While typically rainbow-colored, this selectively bred form has a deep emerald metallic sheen. They love beetle jelly & sweet juicy fruits. #insect #beetle #jewels

These two are the same insect, 26 minutes apart. The picture on the left is the regular appearance. The one on the right is what the insect looks like after it is scared and produces a chemical that spreads between its body and its elytra. 🌿🌱 #beetle #insect

A side by side composite image of a beetle. The image on the left shows a gold beetle with some reddish iridescence. The one on the right looks blue with a gold spot in the middle. These are tortoise beetles so they have clear elytra that extend well beyond the shape of its body like a helmet.

⭐ 2024 Top Finds/Pics ⭐ Like a copper bead that comes to life, this little contracile scarab #beetle is as charismatic as can be 🥰 There's something mechanical & robotic about its transformation into a tight little ball to hide from danger. #Hybosoridae: #Ceratocanthus Costa Rica (August)

A very shiny coppery green ball on a white background. You can see a head with eyes and other body parts fitting together perfectly as the ball-like beetle is ticked away, laying on its back.

A very shiny coppery green ball on a white background. It's upright and the ball-like beetle is slowly opening below.

The beetle on the white background is on it's back and gully opened up. You can see its legs and antennae stretching out.

Worlds Inside Worlds #comics #comicoop #SciArt #beetle #bug

Short comic with no panel edges. There’s a woman in a yellow tank top and blue spandex shorts with short strawberry-blonde hair. She sits on the ground leaning in close to a plant. Next to her is text that reads “There are worlds inside worlds” The POV comes in close to the woman’s face, we see her smirks at a beetle on top of a leaf. The text continues “for those with the eyes to see” Close up on the beetle, a Swamp Milkweed Leaf Beetle, the beetle addresses the woman “Sup?”. The final portion of text reads “and the heart to care.”

I’m not entirely certain what kind of soldier beetle this is, possibly a Grey Sailor beetle, but he’s very jolly 😍🪲 #beetle

I really think we click. #beetle #invertebrate #art 🪲🐡

A photograph of an illustration on Kraft card with a Posca paint pen on top of a green and gold embellished spiral bound planner. The illustration shows two Click beetles (jellybean shaped beetles with black head, black sort of semi-circle shaped thorax and orange-ish elongated abdomen). They are turned towards each other with their antennae touching and a little pink heart above their heads. The text reads 'I really think we click'. Art by Emily Jane Foster.
