Spot the Insect

Insects have colors that naturally blend into the environment as a defense and survival mechanism. In today's calendar-inspired rendition of chinese brush painting, there are two but of the same kind. They may not change as much as a chameleon, but the purpose is served.

Flowers and Insects: A Symbiosis

Bees seeking food for sustenance, and flowers needing vectors for pollination and propagation: a perfect symbiotic relationship carved out in Nature. And humans stand to gain too: nectar-turned honey, not to mention the mind-soothing and serenity-inducing setting. As for the praying mantis, well, besides being the subject of our painting class today, it does add variety and diversity to the insect world.
