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!
