Bill's Sunrise Japanese Beetle Buddy

ARTIST/PHOTOGRAPHER: Photo-"Selfie" by me, William Louis ("Bill") McDonald Senior.

MEDIA: I used my Android cell phone.

STORY: In the spring of 2018 this Arizona Japanese beetle landed upon my shirt in my backyard and I just happened to have my cell phone in my left hand. I angled this little girlie dude toward the rising sun and took several pictures before she flew away.

INSPIRATION: Any arthropod whose living body would make a cool ancient astronaut or ancient alien starship concept prototype. Or even a prototype conceptual design for a time/space/interdimensional-sliding craft.

NOTE: Her left front leg's forward section was missing at the time she arrived. I did not handle her directly.
