Pallid Bat Antrozous pallidus Watercolor
Part of the Bugs Under Glass series.
This is the Pallid Bat, Antrozous pallidus, native to the US and Mexico. Big ears help them hear elusive bugs and stay sharp around predators.

Each painting/print is designed to provide a death-free alternative to having your favorite insects on your wall.
Bugs-Under-Glass Series
I had planned on buying a leaf insect, a few random beetles, spiders, and assorted bugs. I just had to wait until the next paycheck to buy the leaf insect. While those two weeks passed I would see the mounted insects on the wall and “squeee” with delight. But then, I started to think about this little creature was in fact a living thing that someone had to kill to mount for me. Granted the life of an insect is not one for the history books, generally…but alas…I started getting the “guilties”.
So I came up with the “brilliant” idea of painting my own little insects. This way it would save a life, and I could enjoy specimens without guilt. Thus, my Bugs-Under-Glass Series began.
Please note:
Mat Only option will include the signed print, mat, backerboard, and plastic sleeve.
Framed option will vary in size, and come signed art original or print, with mat.
