Paris-based Japanese artist Nozomi created an exquisite series of iridescent crystaline and mineral beetle specimens. Entitled The Mineral Insect, each beautiful beetle was designed using 3D sculpting software, created with a 3D printer, and then hand-painted with lacquer.

Visit Nozomi’s Behance portfolio to check out more of her work, including a stunning series of 3D-printed beetles inspired by traditional Japanese masks. You can also follow Nozomi on Instagram or shop her creations via Etsy.
