Beggar's Fly

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

Beggar’s Fly
Ptochos Odonata
Rarity: Common

This colorful insect in the quad-winged dragonfly family is attracted to shiny objects due to mate confusion. Beggar’s and theives share a symbiotic relationship with the fly because they snatch coins and jewelry from unsuspecting merchants and nobility and fly away with it.
