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.

Western Desert Tarantula – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Western Desert Tarantula:
The Western Desert Tarantula -also called the Arizona Blonde Tarantula or Mexican blond tarantula - is of the genus Aphonopelma. It has a limited distribution in the deserts of Arizona and adjacent parts of Mexico but can be very common within this range. The name "blond tarantula" refers to the carapace, which is densely covered in pale hairs and contrasts strongly with the all-dark legs and abdomen. The spider can grow to be between 3 to 10 inch (7 to 25 cm) While it is a burrowing spider, it is often seen during the summer rainy season in southwestern deserts. The female is usually a uniform tan color, whereas the males have black legs, a copper-colored cephalothorax and a reddish abdomen. Their burrows can be as large as 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50 mm) in diameter, with some strands of silk across the opening. The tarantula is usually found in saguaro cactus dominated plant communities. Like other tarantulas, they are nocturnal predators that never venture far from their burrows unless it is to find a mate. In winter they plug their burrows with soil, rocks, and silk and survive in a relatively inactive state. During this time the animals live off stored fat reserves. Tarantulas have an interesting defensive capability in addition to venom. Some of the hairs on the top of the abdomen are specialized for defense. These urticating hairs, as they are called, are tipped with backward pointing barbs. If a tarantula is threatened in any way, it brushes these hairs into the face, paw or other body part of its attacker. Once these hairs are embedded, they are irritating and very difficult to remove because of the barbs.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

Western Honey Bee – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Western Honey Bee:
Western or European Honey Bees is a flying insect native to the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. It was introduced to the North American continent around 1600. It is an extremely efficient pollinator, and is critical to the crops raised on farms around the world. Honey Bees are know for their extremely advanced ability to communicate with each other, and this communication is critical to the survival of the hive. Information is exchanged by a series of "dances" This is usually used to inform the other hive member of the location of a food source. Millions of hives across the world are kept by humans or beekeeper either as a hobby or part of a farm. Early in the 2000s it was noticed that these hives started collapsing and entire colonies began to die off. It is still unclear what is causing this, but one of the theories apparently back up by science is that genetically modified crops are causing the illness in the bees.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
