The new Nepenthes bag is coming soon! I spent so much time working with the manufacturer on the sample, and now I’m finally happy with it! It will be a perfect bag for our bug friends, and totally safe for themπŸ˜‰ I am expecting the whole batch to be done and available in September! πŸ’š

this evening we are enjoying Frank & Barrera's 2010 paper on staphs in the genus Belonuchus lurking around water-filled Heliconia bracts and snatching tasty mosquito pupae out of the water like inverse crocodiles

Belonuchus cephalotes lurks at the surface of a Heliconia phytotelma, just waiting for ONE plump, tasty mosquito larva/pupa to get within yoinking rangeare-you-kidding-me action shot of a successful Belonuchus cephalotes, skittering away with its succulent pupal meal (a Wyeomyia nearly the size of the beetle)

I finished 18 pieces for #artfight2026 in gouache, fairly new to me. My goal was just to improve color but it ended up helping me learn about myself, giving me a direction out of creative burn out and resparking an excitement to create again.
