Meet the Calligrapher Beetles of North America
- Watercolor, Gouache, Digital
- Amy Maltzan
My research into calligrapher beetles began with finding a Moon-Marked leaf beetle (Calligrapha lunata) on a plant in my garden; I was captivated by the striking script-like design on its elytra. I created this illustrated chart to highlight and facilitate comparison of the beautifully varied patterns found on North American calligrapher beetle species.
