| Antique Print Insect Art - Natural History Print A beautiful engraving from a rare British Victorian natural history book. Wonderfully detailed engraving of a group of British Beetles - the Tiger Beetle and Bombardier. Cicindela are generally brightly colored and metallic beetles, often with some sort of patterning of ivory or cream-colored markings. They are most abundant and diverse in habitats with sandy soil (though some prefer clay), and very often near bodies of water, even if seasonally transient; along river, sea and lake shores, on sand dunes, around lakebeds and on clay banks or woodland paths.
