Description
Part of a project I've been working on the previous month. It will be published next year hopefully. The full project comprised around 90 images... I really enjoyed it. It was an 'old style' illustration project, not scientific illustration though, so it doesn't have the accuracy I would have liked to achieve with the images (not enough time!)So what do all these have in common? Well, they are all edible, and that is what the book is about!
Clockwise from the top: Black ant (Polyrhachis spp), Cricket (Gryllus spp), Hissing cockroach (Gomphadorhina spp.), Common cockchafer (Melolontha spp), Weaver ant (Oecophylla spp), Hornet (Vespa), June beetle (Cotinis). Centre: Stinkbug (Halyomorpha).

Even if you would have liked to achieve more accuracy, scientific drawings usually depict specimens and these capture living creatures.
Granted I am no expert on insects, but I like what you did here!

Fine work, well done. I've been doing some bugs also, for a mural in a community park. Been fascinated by bugs since childhood.
