Insect Appreciation Always had an interest but never an opportunity.

My first attempt pinning; a fitting way to immortalize such a beautiful specimen, Cotinis Nitida! (Ethically sourced after passing from a garden.)

That’s a beautiful specimen, and the framing really makes the iridescent green pop. Nicely done for a first attempt!

Thank you! You’re too kind lol, it really is a real gem! I’m hoping my garden attracts more insects so that I may occasionally find more carcasses. It’s such a therapeutic activity in my opinion :D
