Beetles and dragonfly entomology plate poster

Entomological plate of beetles and dragonflies poster

A large green and orange dragonfly hovers in a graduated blue sky, above beetles resting on a cream ground. The green stag beetle with its large mandibles, the blue beetle edged in orange and the russet-striped beetle shine with colorful reflections, surrounded by small blue and orange insects. The dragonfly’s transparent wings show each of their fine veins. The highly detailed drawing recalls the entomology plates found in naturalists’ books. This insect poster is both scientific and decorative, made to be observed up close. Soft shadows cast on the cream ground give depth to each specimen. The title “INSECT STUDY” underscores this meticulous study approach.

A naturalist plate for an office or library

It finds its place in an office, a library, a curious child’s bedroom or a cabinet of curiosities. Its cream background and iridescent reflections pair well with dark wood, brass, glass cloches, old books and deep green or midnight blue walls. It makes a lovely series with other naturalist plates. A great gift for an amateur entomologist, a science teacher, a child who collects insects or a fan of cabinets of curiosities.
