thanks so much ^_^
nice to find others with a similar insect mania
what was the inspiration for your series, if you don't mind me asking?

My series began with my friend giving me very specific notes on what she wanted for a tattoo. It all just ballooned out from there. I kinda have the ideas broken down into pretty bugs and weirdo concept bugs.

I've seen a few people making clockwork insects or technologically altered bugs, but nothing quite like yours. How did you get started on your series?

I moved house, and was exploring the garden, looking for insects. I found a whole lot of bees and flies and butterflies, but not a single beetle! So I started with a weevil to charm the beetles in

But then, a whole bunch of other fictitious beetles charged in to keep it company, and then we were invaded by Harlequin Ladybirds in their hundreds, so I should be careful what I wish for

Insects lend themselves pretty well to tattoos I think. When I was studying entomology I always wanted Chrysomela menthastri tattooed, but I never got round to it and lost the moment...
