Group of 7 Beetle Specimens

Seven tiny beetles scattered like confetti across one frame.

This group of 7 beetle specimens is from & Thailand, Madagascar, Malaysia, and is contemporary. It is wood & glass. Insects make up over two-thirds of all known living organisms, roughly 1.3 million species, and the article notes that many more are probably still undocumented, waiting to be discovered. Scattering of small insects in assorted shapes: a long-horned one with banded antennae at the top, two tiny red ones, a fanned winged one with blue and gold in the middle, and three beetles below, blue, striped and green. It is 10.25 inches wide, 2 deep and 10.25 high.

A whole zoo of tiny jewels with no organizing principle.
