            It's NOT a cat or a pie on this Pi-Caturday, but it's beautiful, so I'll accept this stunning Caliligrapha beetle photo.
            Thank YOU, Alex.

              @alexwild TIL “elytra” has an etymology outside of Minecraft

                Ink splotches where the calligrapher shook off the pen. Beautiful insect.

                    @alexwild I never tire of discovering new fascinating creatures and being amazed by the beauty nature creates.
                    What a wonderful bug! What a great photo!

                      In order to feed the hashtag #Calligrapha, let me present this Calligrapha pantherina from New Britain, Papua New Guinea.

                      Everybody, have a closer look at insects and you will find beauty! (for example in the amazing pictures by @alexwild)

                          The Creator would appear as endowed with a passion for stars, on the one hand, and for beetles on the other, for the simple reason that there are nearly 300,000 species of beetle known, and perhaps more, as compared with somewhat less than 9,000 species of birds and a little over 10,000 species of mammals. Beetles are actually more numerous than the species of any other insect order.

                          But "The Creator Has an Inordinate Fondness for Beetles" sounds better 😉
