Scientific Illustrations
by Katherine Arnoldi.
This is a caribid beetle,
which eats boll weevil larvae. When I was working as an illustrator
at the University of Arkansas Entomology Department, I made this
illustration to be in a book that was to help farmers identify
the insects in the fields before spraying insecticides. It won
an award from the National Science Institute for reducing the
use of pesticides in Arkansas.
