Rhinoceros Beetle

Rhinoceros Beetle

Posted by Wesley Fleming on 5/3/2008
 Featured by Robert Koch Glass
Among the largest of beetles, rhinoceros beetles are also the strongest animals on the planet, proportionally. They can lift up to 850 times their own weight - if a human had the strength of these beetles, it would be able to lift an Abrams Tank!

Made of Effetre glass (with encased silver foil in carapace) over a GTT Phantom. Measures about 2.5" long.

Wesley Fleming, glass sculptor Wesley is inspired by the shapes and colors of nature as well as his wacky imagination, spending much of his spare time exploring under rocks and logs outdoors. With his glass insects, Wesley mimics actual species with intricate detail. In other pieces he conjures creatures from dreams and his inner reality.
