Found this Cicindela, Six-spotted Tiger beetle and figured the chicken might have sampled it or something. Gently righted it and it slowly started gathering its wits, and wings, back in order.
“The beetle is largely harmless to humans and may live as long as three years.” #insects#beetle

Behind the scenes at work in the Living Collections area there is an insect retirement home. This guy is way older than their normal lifespan so he doesn’t have to be “on display” anymore. His house is the cushiest beetle pad I’ve ever seen though. #Insect#beetle#animal#entomology 🪲

🧵 1/ My new #VisibleMending project: This linen-yarn T-shirt is a memento of my dog, who once got stuck at the bottom with his claw and tore a hole. It's darned in the shape of a yellow beetle. To make the whole thing more harmonious, I'm going to do a few small appliqués elsewhere today. @visiblemending
🧵2/ Process of "harmonising" a T-Shirt that had a very flashy #VisibleMending with an embroidered beetle. There are no holes under the appliqués, they are used to create the overall look. Next comes a vertical appliqué from the right edge of the collar. @visiblemending@fibrearts
