Description
As a young artist, Christopher Marley spent many years in tropical regions the world over where insect populations are flamboyant and profuse. His fascination with the creatures gradually prevailed over an initial phobia, leading to lengthy study of entomology and to arduous excursions to locales where the gaudiest beetles dwell.
Marley's work with insects reflects his desire to impose order on a scuttling, clicking, and swarming world. His minimalist arrangements of outrageous color invite inspection and wonder; preconceptions fade as we contemplate these creatures' breathtaking beauty. Although the ensembles are anything but organic, the colors are natural and not enhanced or digitally altered in any way.
Marley asserts that an increased appreciation for these jewel-like beasts can help slow the willful destruction of their habitat - which, unlike individual collection, is the only true threat an insect species faces.

I can usually put together a 1000 piece puzzle in 24-36 hours. This one took me 2 days, but I enjoyed it. My 11 year old son isn’t a puzzler but he stopped by the table frequently to observe the progress and educate me on the various bugs.

I bought this because my 10-year-old granddaughter loves bugs. We did it together over Christmas - that is, I did it and she found a couple of dozen of the easier pieces. It was not a puzzle for the faint of heart. But Pomegranate is known for its quality, so it went together quite well, if slowly.
