Massive mural of rare egg-eating beetle set for York
An artist is searching for a big space in
the centre of York to paint a mural featuring a giant green
beetle.
BuglifeCopyright: Buglife
The environmental charity New Networks for Nature says it's commissioned the giant artwork to "create a lasting legacy" after a major nature conference to be held in York later this year.
The conference will feature writers, artists and musicians inspired by nature and advocates for wildlife, including Chris Packham, presenter of BBC Springwatch.
But for the project to be approved the street artist ATM, who specialises in huge paintings of endangered specie, like the thrush pictured below, needs to find a big blank wall.
Organiser Dr Amy-Jane Beer says what's needed is: "A bridge, warehouse, or something similar, which could provide a highly visible platform for the work."
ATMCopyright: ATM
Until recently, the subject of the mural, the iridescent tansy beetle, faced extinction in the UK and York's flood-prone river banks were the only place in the country the species was known to survive.
In 2015, a breeding programme was set up for the tansy, which only eats a specific kind of plant and has an unfortunate habit of eating its own eggs.
