- Another post for #InverteFest The Palo Verde Beetle, one of my favorite local invertebrates. They emerge during the monsoon season in the Sonoran Desert and freak people out due to their size and clumsy flying style. They're harmless and I love them. #beetle #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #potteryApr 25, 2025 15:30
- Love these, with the detail, the shapes, the contrast between the three colors...
- Thank you so much💚
- Those are some beautiful mugs, wow!
- Thank you :)
- Oh wow your mugs look amazing!! Love how detailed the beetles are
- Thank you! It was fun trying to figure out how to depict those fragile legs/antennae.
- They can pinch a pretty good pinch if you try to pick them up to relocate them back outside, but I’d expect that from any decent-sized beetle.
- I can imagine, they don't understand that you're just trying to relocate them. I've always used a twig to help them flip back onto their legs when they get stuck on their backs. They just grab onto the twig.
- Fantastic detail on the mugs. I love beetles. They're so badass looking. Very scifi.
- I agree 👍 Beetle bodies are so beautiful, so much fun to try to sculpt.
- Cool mugs!
- Thanks!
