Day 1: Sunburst Diving Beetle

[onenicebugperday]

@earthandsunandmoon submitted: A bug spotted on my university campus--a whole gaggle of college girls was photographing it. Please help me ID this campus celeb!

Found in central Pennsylvania.

If there's one thing I know about college girls it's that they love a large beetle on the sidewalk. This fella looks like a predaceous diving beetle, probably either a vertical diving beetle or a fringed diving beetle, but I'd need clearer photos to say which.

isn’t it absurd, this life thing?

Thermonectus marmoratus (Dytiscidae) is a diving beetle that has various adaptations to live underwater, like having a bubble under their wings that carries underwater like a little water tank. They are predators and scavengers of underwater invertebrates such as mosquito larvae.

Last October, I took part in this awesome art challenge called Invertober, organized by the wonderful @fossilforager! As someone who adores bugs and invertebrates of all kinds, I found it to be a perfect way to have fun creating some art. There’s just nothing cooler than a little critter in my eyes. The challenge helped me get comfortable with Procreate again and reminded me how much I love playing with color. It was a blast, and I’m definitely planning to join in again this year!

While I only managed to complete 9 out of the 31 prompts, I think that’s pretty impressive, especially since I hadn’t done much completed personal art in the past few years. Here are the first three of the prompts I did. I'm excited to share the rest with you in batches over the next couple of weeks!
