Framed in an upcycled frame, this linocut was hand carved and printed by the artist Ben Brockman @brockchop. It is signed and numbered in an edition of 10. “Cotinis nitida, commonly known as the green June beetle, June bug or June beetle, it is a beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in the eastern United States and Canada, where it is most abundant in the South. It is sometimes confused with the related southwestern species figeater beetle Cotinis mutabilis, which is less destructive. The green June beetle is active during daylight hours. The adult is usually 15–22 mm (0.6–0.9 in) long with dull, metallic green wings; its sides are gold and the head, legs and underside are very bright shiny green. Their habitat extends from New Brunswick to Georgia, and as far west as California, with possible population crossover in Texas with their western cousin, the figeater beetle.“ #scarabidae #cotinisnitida #junebug #greenjunebeetle #greenbeetle #linocut #linoleumprint #tucsonartist #tucsonart #sonorandesert #insectillustration #insectart #boho #bohochic #bohostyle #farmhousestyle #eclecticdecor #ephemera #ephemeralart (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq37u5aPsTR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Green June Beetle (Cotinis nitida) on Mullein Flower. Although they look a lot like Japanese Beetles, they are significantly larger and more closely related to Scarab or Dung Beetles. #GreenJuneBeetle #beetle #insect #Cotinis_nitida #Cotinis #nitida #mullein (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkHVYs6r8N4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This June Bug was determined to crawl on the smallest weeds and blades of grass...and somehow it made it work.

Came across this #Beauty on my way into the library. 😍 I picked it up, with a paper, and put it on a tree in the shade. #Beetle #FigEater #FigEaterBeetle #GreenJuneBeetle #Nature #UrbanNature #CityBugs #Insect

Today was an eventful day for Nilla outdoors: Birdwatching in the shade, bird chasing in the bushes, and making a new little beetle friend! #cats #catsofinstagram #beetles #greenjunebeetle https://www.instagram.com/p/BltoK3gnaKr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x2zar767tpsc
