Truly beautiful work, but for some strange reason I was expecting to see a picture of Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr.

I have never seen a beetle like that, what is the common name for it?

That is amazing, you inspire me

Thanks Matt! It's called the Common European cockchafer, but here in the Netherlands we call it May beetle.

Thanks a lot! No, I didn't, but because you're not the first asking this, I wrote down some thoughts on my blog, and I will post a second hand out in a few days. You can find it here .
