Measured rhythm.
 
This framed Mormolyce phyllodes specimen, commonly known as the violin beetle, is presented fully spread against a vintage-style sheet music backing. The elongated form, fine legs, and richly textured brown elytra echo the linear cadence of the score beneath, creating a quiet visual rhythm that feels intentional rather than literal.
 
The contrast is restrained: a single specimen centered within a black frame, where structure, symmetry, and negative space allow the unusual silhouette to take precedence.
