For the final #InsertAnInvert2024 prompt “diving” and for #invertefest this is a hand-printed of the Paroster pallescens beetle, surface diving water beetle from Australia. It is printed on 8” x 8” Japanese paper.
Paroster is a genus of beetles in the family Dytiscidae. I really liked the look of this beetle and the amazing diversity of this genus of Australian diving beetles!

1. My linocut print “Diving Beetle Paroster pallescens” shows the beetle viewed from above on an 8” x 8” white Japanese washi paper. It’s an oblong beetle with pale yellow limbs and antennae, black eyes, and a muddy green elytra. The most striking feature is the long hairs radiating out from the back legs like extravagant eyelashes.
