if you're in need of a wide weevil, this gourd looking thing i found on a random wall might just do the trick. i think this is something in the genus Donus, and despite its hefty physique i managed to take some photos without getting violently body slammed for my hubris

hello my dears... today i have an older shot of a beetle showing off its wings...

dark crimson beetle. iridescent elytra. clumsy personality. unidentified species from the genus Ceropria

Semi-aquatic bugs

aka water striders (+ various other families that you could call "smaller water striders"), aka the bugs that you might find walking on water (but not swimming in it (I will draw your favorite swimming bugs soon))

Drawing these made me really appreciate how different groups have different ways of positioning their legs to stay afloat on the water surface :] my favorites are the ones that keep their middle legs veeeerrrry straight (couldn't be me)
