I just loved the spirals of beetles and bees at the Harvard Museum of Natural History!
Such a gorgeous display. Can we say beetle mania?

    Hello! I've just discovered your blog, and I'm so in awe of your beautiful, beautiful paintings. If you notice someone going back through every post, that'll be me, taking my time and having a good look at it all!
    Best wishes from Western Australia!

    These are wonderful. I met(virtually) a blogger who is a trainee curator in natural history. He takes THE most amazing pictures of collections. I love his insect especially. I think you would like it. http://biologycuratorialtrainee.wordpress.com/
