Scroll Beetle

A part of my "Exotic Pompeii Collection" a series of made up insect illustrations.

Scroll Beetle
Amitorios Bouget
Rarity: Uncommon

This brilliant green female has a unique carapace that is used to carry its young on its back. Pompeii romantics have used these small beetles as carriers to change small scrolled messages, tucked into its back. The beetles have a strong sense of direction based on nesting instincts and pheromone trails.
