I found this Figeater Beetle in my yard last week. It is a large relative of the sacred Scarab beetles of Egypt. The underside is a bright metallic green. "The Figeater", 4"x3", oil on canvas.
Artist Reply: Thanx Emily-it shows up a little too dark and slightly blurry, but I do like the original. As always I appreciate your comments.
Blessings,
Jeanie
