When illustrator Marlin Peterson was commissioned by the Washington State Artist Trust to create a mural in the city recently, he chose the roof of the Seattle Center Armory (which can be viewed from the nearby Space Needle) and got to work on two huge trompe l’oeil daddy long-legs.
More pix and an explanation of Peterson’s process here.
Mmm. Fluffy.

Found one of these (actually there were 2) in my garden [Dublin] last night. I don’t think I’ve seen one before. Noisy buggers when flying with no concept of direction. After some research I found out what it was, it’s called a cockchafer and it’s about an inch in length. Just wondering how common they actually are?
