Flower Chafer Beetle Colouring

This flower chafer beetle explores the broad petals of an open blossom. Its oval wing covers, tiny markings and sturdy legs make a colourful contrast with the soft flower shapes. Try bright green with touches of bronze or gold on the shell, and leave the little markings pale. Colour the flower pink or cream, its centre yellow and the leaf green. Use curved strokes around the beetle's back and leave a small light patch for shine. Finish the petals with gentle strokes from the centre outwards, keeping the insect's legs easy to see. Choose your own colours too, and enjoy bringing this little insect scene to life!
