Goliathus, ink drawing on ostrich egg
PU992-2
The heaviest beetle in the world, on the biggest egg in the world. The black and white patterns of this Central African beetle -Goliathus Orientalis- seem almost made to be drawn on an ostrich egg. Yet it is in France that the anatomist artist Juliette Grange drew in black ink this beautiful insect very graphic, on an egg laid... also in France. An impressive result of precision, on his black brass stand.
