The African Flower Beetle (Mecynorhina ugandensis) is a strikingly colorful and vibrant member of the large beetle family. I have illustrated its body with deep green color and with wide spread wings reflecting the colors of their surroundings.
Males can reach up to 85 mm, while females grow to about 60 mm in length.
I love watching how beetles take flight revealing delicate, perfectly folded wings that tuck back seamlessly when they land.
This beetle belongs to the subfamily Cetoniinae, tribe Goliathini, and was first described by Julius Moser in 1907. As its name suggests, it is native to Uganda, but it can also be found in neighboring regions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa.
Technique: pencil and aquarelle

Let us introduce you to Aurora or Rora.
Our princess who inspired the creation of this foundation.
But she was not born in a castle and did not always have servants (as at present). In fact, Rora was thrown away after the first breath as an unnecessary thing.
She spent the first months of her life in clinics, hotels and foster homes, until she finally found her Man.
Many more like her are waiting.
In the last few years, we have domesticated hundreds of animals, some of them with even more difficult stories than hers.
Each animal costs a lot of money and is very difficult when you are alone. We put a lot of effort and time into our cause, but the truth is that we can no longer do it alone and we need help and financial support.
