A digital ilustration of an anthropomorphized dung beetle sitting at a mushroom table tinkering with jewellery. The beetle has a boxy, segmented body that is mostly a shiny near-black brown. Its head is almost triangular and its eyes sit high up on it. It has feathered antennae coming out from the bottom. Its top pair of arms only have little claws instead of hands and claws like the rest of its limbs. It sits at an orange flat-topped mushroom with some sprawled tools and parts ontop of it, and peers through a monocle at a ring it holds in its little hand.
