Truly a beautiful beetle and every detail captured perfectly in the image - I can see tiny hairs on the wing cases and the top of the thorax, as well as on the legs. The print on canvas has worked very well and light to hang too. Very pleased, have been gazing at this for a long time and still finding more to look at. The Gold on black background is stunning but even the legs and claws have a sci-fi beauty.
