the paper bug project is done!
i’ve wanted to experiment with faux taxidermy for a while now, so i decided to kick things off with some bugs. i learned a lot, and now that this set is finished & in the gallery i’m already planning more. they’re so much fun to make!
also! i want to mention that these are inspired by one of my favorite artists, beastieandbone (on instagram) who does incredible paper taxidermy art.
(the last 3 pics are by @iridescentjaq thank u honey 💚)

Frog Beetle (Sagra buqueti)
Distribution: Found in southeast Asia, in countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Habitat: Tropical jungle habitats, often found on stems or foliage.
Diet: Adults are generalist herbivores, feeding on the leaves, fruit and shoots of many plants. Larvae feed exclusively on certain species of kudzu.
Description: Unlike its namesake, the frog beetle doesn't use its powerful hind legs for jumping! Instead, it uses them to grip stems and foliage as it feeds, keeping itself still; the legs are covered in a multitude of tiny hairs which gives it a better grip. Male frog beetles have much larger legs than the females, which implies this trait is the result of sexual selection. Male frog beetles have never been observed fighting, but in similar species, legs are used to threaten other males, then to attack competitors by attempting to grab their abdomen.
Frog beetle cocoons are a fairly common sight in the tropical forests of southeast Asia. Despite this, very little is otherwise known about this species.

@sassytheskydragon submitted: Thought you'd appreciate this female Sagra bugueti encased in resin I got from as a souvenir from a butterfly house a few years back. I just love its color-shifting carapace. :)
I do appreciate her! Hope she lived a good beetle life but it's nice we get to admire her in death, too. Since we can't see her colors well, here's another Sagra buqueti to admire for those who aren't familiar:
