The creator of this artwork chose the beetle to be his creative theme because beetles were considered to be manifestations of the sun god in Egyptian mythology, representing the resurrections of souls and the cycle of eternal life. The artist integrates art with new media to symbolize a positive interaction between technology and ecology.
This artwork is powered by solar panels, applying the concept of green energy to create public art, while allowing public interaction. The beetle features endearing, vivid facial expressions that evoke a sense of communication and friendliness while communicating the ideal of connecting people in the protection of our Earth.
生長於大自然的昆蟲，隨環境污染程度而有明顯的增減，其數目多寡在當今被認為是評估生態環境的指標。
藝術家由此理念為發想，選擇甲蟲為主題，也因甲蟲在古埃及是太陽神的化身，代表靈魂的復活和永生循環，透過藝術配合新媒體的應用，象徵科技與生態彼此展開友善互動。
本作品以太陽能板進行自體發電，將綠色能源的概念應用於公共藝術中，民眾可近距離和作品互動。甲蟲帶著可愛生動的表情，眼睛左看右看或是扎眼睛、微笑，讓觀眾感受到牠的生命感與親近感，也是一種人與人之間的溝通與友善。
看到黃色大甲蟲，彷彿對我們說：一起愛護地球喔！
