Entomological shattering at La Beauchêne under glass case

Chrysochroa buqueti - The red speckled jewel beetle

Entomological shattering at La Beauchêne

The technique consists in disassembling each part of the insect one by one, then reassembling them in an exploded view to observe each element and its relationship to the others, but also to appreciate the specimen as a whole, since the parts are placed in anatomical connection.

This is a jewel beetle: Chrysochroa buqueti, with its magnificent metallic sheen.

Note that the smaller the specimen, the greater the difficulty!

Beautiful entomological work by La Thanatothèque

Each part of the insect has been disassembled and mounted on fine brass rods to be reconstituted as an exploded piece, a long and precise job.

A superb piece.
