Monday morning #kalligrammatid illustration.... this is only the unfinished outline, but I like the way it's looking so far.
This is #Oregramma illecebrosa, a species with a roughly 12cm wingspan and eyespotted wings from the #Yixian Formaton of China.
The kalligrammatids were a family of butterfly-like lacewings from the #Mesozoic which are thought to have been some of the primary pollinators of some #gymnosperms.
