Antique Print Beetle 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 - Rove Beetles and Burying Beetles. Burying beetles or sexton beetles (genus Nicrophorus) are the best-known members of the family Silphidae (carrion beetles). Most of these beetles are black with red markings on the elytra (forewings). They bury the carcasses of small vertebrates such as birds and rodents as a food source for their larvae. They are unusual among insects in that both the male and female parents take care of the brood (Wikipedia)
