Pennsylvania Firefly – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Pennsylvania Firefly:
The Pennsylvania Firefly - also called the lightning bug and glowworm (in it's larval stage) is native to open fields, forests and pastures in the eastern part of North America. It is not a fly, but rather a member of the order Coleoptera, which are beetles. They are about 3/4 of an inch long (2 centimeters) They are naturally known for their use of bioluminescence, which it uses in both the larval stage and as an adult for dual purposes - to attract mates and also prey. The Pennsylvania Firefly feeds on a variety of invertebrates - such as other insects, flies and even land snails. Across North America there have been reports of declining numbers of fireflies in areas they were once very common. Overuse of harsh pesticides and herbicides along with the habitat loss required by larval life stages (especially in suburban and rural areas) coupled with the massive drought are all likely factors in the decline of the firefly.

Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle:
The Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle is a subspecies of longhorn beetle native to the riparian forests of the Central Valley of California from Redding to Bakersfield. The insect is listed as a Federally threatened species. They are medium sized beetles, growing to about .5-1.0 inch (1.25-2.5 cm) with the females slightly larger. Due to the extensive and widespread habitat loss, there is a push to help protect this beetle along with the ever shrinking habitat of riparian (the interface between land and a river or stream) forests which the beetle needs to survive.

Grapevine Beetle – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Grapevine Beetle:
The Grapevine Beetle - also called the Spotted June Beetle or the Spotted Pelidnota - is a member of the subfamily Rutelinae of the Scarab beetle family. These insects are are fairly common in the north and central United States and Eastern Canada. They grow to be about 1 inch long (2.5 cm) While some beetles can cause massive damage to crops the Grapevile Beetles does relatively little damage to their host plants. The beetles fly at a fast speed, usually in a curving flight. There are many color variations, so many that at one time there was thought to be ten subspecies (these were all eventually discarded and there are no subspecies) Like many other beetles they are found in forests, thickets, and woods, and is mostly seen during the summer. Active flyers, these beetles are commonly attracted to lights at night. It is also seen in vineyards and gardens, which is what gives the beetle it's common name. The adult beetle eats the leaves and fruit of grapevines, both wild and cultivated, although it is not normally a major pest of vineyards. Beetle eggs are laid in rotten wood, tree stumps, or on soil near the host plant, where they hatch into larvae. Larvae then dig their way into the soil, where they feed on rotted wood. Pupal chambers are built shallowly underground.

Gopher Beetle – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Gopher Beetle:
The Gopher Beetle is found only in California, and within California is only known from a few localities in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Currently, it is the only know species of the genus Ceratophyus in the Western Hemisphere. The body of this beetle is a polished black with an almost square shape. Adults grow to be about .75-1 inch long (15-23 mm). Males have prominent, forward projecting horns on the center of the thorax and head. The legs, especially the front pair, and strongly serrated, and notably adapted for burrowing. The wing covers have faint but visible converging creases. The genus is not found anywhere else in North America, although related species live all across Eurasia. Though originally believed to be introduced, the species is distinct from any known members of Ceratophyus known from the Old World. Adults are active in the winter, tunneling six feel or more into the soil in search of fungi, pushing up sandy mounds 3 to 6 inches high, which give the beetle its common name.

Information about the European Stag Beetle:
The European Stag Beetle is of one the best know beetles of the family Lucanidae. They are native to west, south and central Europe. They live in old rotting trees and dead tree trunks which they also feed on. They were once very common throughout Europe, but now due to habit loss they are in steep decline and special measures are being taken to set aside special areas of conservation for them.

Desert Blister Beetle – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Desert Blister Beetle:
The Desert Blister Beetle is a species of blister beetle found in southwestern North America. Typically 16 to 33 mm (0.6 to 1.3 in) in length, L. magister has a striking red head, legs and prothorax, with black elytra. They can be found in great numbers in the Mojave and Colorado Deserts in spring, and are often seen in swarms. Females lay eggs in holes in the desert soil. The larvae are insectivorous, mainly attacking bee nests. They consume the immature host along with its provisions, and can often survive on the provisions alone, thus they are not obligatory parasitoids but rather food parasites that are parasitoid, or simply predatory. Adults feed on flowers and leaves of brittlebush.

Acorn Woodpeckers – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Acorn Woodpeckers:
Acorn Woodpeckers (Melanerpes formicivorus) are called so because of their dependence on the acorn. These birds live in extended family groups. Unlike most birds, they are able to store large amounts of food by drilling holes into the wood of dead trees, telephone poles or even wooden buildings, then storing acorns into the holes. The birds also feed on insects, tree sap and fruit. They reside in coastal oak forests on the west coast of North America, down through Central and into South America.

American White Pelican – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the White Pelican:
White Pelicans are one of the largest birds in North America. They have a wing span of approximately 9 feet. They don't dive for fish as the Brown Pelican does. Instead, they dip their heads underwater to scoop up fish. Several pelicans may fish cooperatively, moving into a circle to concentrate them, and then dipping their heads under simultaneously to catch fish. White Pelicans nest in colonies of several hundred pairs on islands in remote brackish and freshwater lakes of inland North America.

Red-Bellied Woodpecker – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Red-Bellied Woodpecker:
The Red-Bellied Woodpecker is a medium sized bird, native to the forests of the Mid-West and Eastern parts of North America. These birds like to hitch along branches and trunks of medium to large trees, quickly plucking at the bark looking for insects, which make up a large part of their diet. They will also eat seeds, acorns, nuts and fruits. They will also happily visit backyard bird feeders. When eating, Red-bellied Woodpeckers will sometimes wedge large nuts into the bark crevices, then drill them with their powerful beaks into smaller, more manageable pieces. They also use tight cavities in trees and fence posts to store food. Both sexes are similar in size, with a length of about 9.5 inches (24 cm), wingspan of 13–16.5 inches (33–42 cm) and weighing about 2–3.2 ounces (56–91 g.)
