"Tigerfly"

Tigerfly

I finally finished this print for my youngest daughter, Eulabee. The poor girl is going to have "bee" themed stuff probably her whole lifetime, so I hope she likes them. At least the bees aren't central here; they and the fireflies share second fiddle with the Tigerfly, a fantastic creature from my imagination. Coming up with the idea and drawing this was a lot of fun. My favorite aspect of this image is that I can't decide if the Tigerfly is tiny or if the other insects are huge.
