Beetle feeding galleries on a wych elm

Grooves etched into a tree by the larger European elm bark beetle. The transformations (or metamorphoses) of insects. 1882.

@taikavaris submitted: A small gentleman visited my desk, extremely interested in who they are! Located in finland

MY OPINION IS😾:

AS A CONSEQUENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE -> HEAT WAVES DESTROYED SPRUCES -> BARK BEETLES GOT THE REST😓🪵🖤 -> NOW ONLY A CASE FOR WOOD CHIPS

I really like using these kinds of beads instead of hair ties, at the end of my braids! (Or you can use first a hair tie, then put a bead over it, if you prefer.)

They have patterns made by woodborer insects, like bark beetles. The best collab I've done :}
