About Green Beetle Shop

People have always had a relationship with insects. This relationship is often one of fear or one of delight. True, any of us can realize the grace of the butterfly or the necessity of the bee. We tell stories of the industrious ant and the lazy grasshopper, but what of the others? What about those creatures that rhyme and verse do not speak? As humans we tend to focus our attention on things more our size, more our speed. Things flying above our heads or crawling below our feet are often the furthest things from our minds. Still we all have memories that involve insects. Fireflies in the fields, moths around the light, a caterpillar in our hand. When we stop and look, insects capture our sense of awe and wonder. Beauty is not always easy to see. When we finally see it in something, we know it immediately and forever after as just that, beautiful. This was my experience with insects. As a boy I was fascinated their size and strangeness. As a man I am captivated by their beauty and form. Something in me knew they were special, I just didn't know quite what it was or what to call it. As an artist and designer I now have the proper words. I think most people are alike in the sense that whether they keep insects at arms length, take them gently in their hand, or run from them in fear; in the right light everyone can see their beauty. The driving element behind everything we do is to be that light, to show people the beauty of small things and a little wonder back to our lives.Read their story
