I love scientific illustrations like this, they're so pretty. This one is from the first book,"Owady szkodniki lasow lisciastych" (Insect pests of deciduous forests) and it is of the species Cimbex femoratus. #entomology #insects #bugs #hymenoptera

A photo of a page from a book. There is a scientific illustrations on the page showing a tree branch with green caterpillar like larvae on it. Next to the branch there is a small drawing of a yellow and reddish brown wasp like insect with four wings, two antenna and six legs. The head and thorax are reddish brown and the abdomen is yellow.

Yesterday, I managed to buy three old Polish books. One is about insects specifically whilst the other two are about invertabrates in general. I'm really happy to have bought them! #entomology #insect #bug

A photo showing three old books lying on a white sheet. The book on the left has a light brown cover with green leaves drawn on it and various insects. The one in the middle is grey and the one on the right is light brown with a green drawing of a worm on it.

I'm currently on holiday in Poland. Here's a scarce swallowtail, Iphiclides podalirius, that I saw today! #bug #lepidoptera #insect #entomology #butterfly

A photo of a patch of tall plants with clumps of purple flowers and bright green stems and leaves. There is a large butterfly sitting on top of the flowers of one plant. It is a pale yellowish white colour with black stripes on the forewings. The bottom of the hind wings is black with blue spots and each wing has a black tail. In the distance, behind the plants, there are buildings and a road. The photo was taken in a town.

A couple of weeks ago, I found this old lady moth, Mormo maura, flying around before it decided to land near me to rest. #mothweek #moth #lepidoptera #insect #bug #entomology

A photo of a large greyish brown moth. It is resting on a metal fence. The moth has its wings folded over its back and there are patches of darker colour on the fore wings. It has long thread like antenna.

Moth trapping in S.Hants over the weekend attracted this bizarre visitor, a Wasp Nest Beetle, not just odd in appearance, but lifestyle too. A new species for me. #beetles #mothtrapping #gardenwildlife

My fifth art fight attack that I did for @snootstheclown.bsky.social just over a week ago! #art #artfight2026 #artfight #digitalart

A digital drawing of an anthropomorphic white worm on a string. Her bpdy is facing to the right. She has two legs and two hands and a tail. The tip of her nose has a round red clown nose and she has a mouth under the nose that has red lips. She has light grey fur and her face is painted white with make up. Her eye has a black pupil and two simplified black eye lashes and the sclera is white and the eye has a blue diamond shape painted over it. She wears a a rainbow cone shaped party hat on the top of her had that has colours on it. It goes from red at the top to blue to green to yellow and to orange and ends with a red base. There is a red circle on the top point of the hat. She wear a long sleeved shirt. The left half of the shirt is rainbow and the colours go in the same order as the party hat. The right side of the shirt has a colourful design that looks like a kid's play mat with roads on it. The sleeves on both sides end with red frills. The shirt has buttons that run down the middle and there are three big white buttons with four black dots on them. Her trousers are the same as her shirt but with the design flipped around and with no buttons. Her shoes are clown shoes. They are white with a red tip and red base. The middle top bit of the shoes has a blue rectangle shape.
Her tail sticks out to the side and there is a red simple fish shape on it aswell as a blue star design. They look like small stickers that have been stuck onto the tail. The back ground behind the worm is grey with red,orange, yellow, green and blue balloons and party streamers and little colourful dots. The floor is a checkerboard pattern but instead of black and white tiles, the black tiles are either red, orange, yellow, green or blue. There are white tiles in between in each colourful tile.

I did this drawing recently as a gift for someone. It is a drawing of a female Mutilla europaea. :) #art #hymenoptera #bug #insect #bugart #entomology #traditionalart

A photo of a traditional drawing done on white paper. The drawing is of a female velvet ant, a type of wasp. She has no wings as female velvet ants do not have them. She is black with a red thorax and there are patches of hairs that are a mix of orange, yellow and white. Her body also has black hairs everywhere. She has six legs and two antenna and two greyish blue eyes. Next to the drawing, on the right side, there is the name Mutilla europaea written with a black ball point pen and highlighted with a pastel green high lighter.
The drawing is done using a mix of paint markers, alcohol markers, water colour markers and colouring pencils. The line art is done using a black ball point pen.

My third art fight attack that I did a few days ago for Mariapoda (on art fight). I absolutely adore bug characters, they're always so fun to draw! #art #artfight #artfight2026 #bugart #insect #bug

A digital drawing of two wasp characters. The one on the left is metallic and has various shades of blue and green all over her body. She is short and has two big black eyes. Her wings are a yellow tint and are folded behind her against her back.
The wasp on the right is taller and is a black blue colour. She is crouching down to the height of the left wasp. She has a long abdomen that bends like a tail and is looking at the left wasp with her big black eyes. She has yellow tinted wings on her back.
On top of the right wasp, resting on top of her neck and the back of her head, there is a small red mite with two black eyes.
The two wasps are girl friends and there are lots of small dark pink and light pink hearts in the background to show their love for each other. The two wasps are also expressing their love for each other as they are talking to one another. There are two speech bubbles, one from each wasp, but instead of there being words in them, there is simply one light pink heart to symbolise how they feel for each other.

I came across this group of flies last week gathered on top of a metal fence. I'm not sure what they exactly are, my best guess is that they're all from the family Anthomyiidae. #flies #diptera #bug #insect #entomology

A photo showing a group of small white flies with black markings and bright red eyes resting on the top of a silver metal fence. There is a short brick wall in front of the fence and the wall has moss growing all over it. Behind the wall, there is a a river.

Here are the first two art fight attacks that I've done this year! First one is for IErr0rI on art fight and the second one is for @kbdraws92.bsky.social :) #art #artfight #digitalsart #artfight2026

A digital drawing of a light cyan coloured humanoid. The character is based off among us and wears a darker cyan coloured crop top, what appears to be a skirt and shoes. The shoes extend past the ankles. The character has a long light cyan coloured tail with lots of fluff on the tip and base. The character also has long light cyan coloured hair and wears a dark cyan coloured cap with black point horns sticking out of it. The character has a round circular face and has a light blue visor on it just like how among us characters do. The character has both hands behind his back and is smiling. He is standing and leaning slightly to the left.

A digital drawing of a humanoid character. They have a floating eyeball as a head, with a green iris, white sclera and black pupil. They have grey eyelids and a slightly darker grey body and their hands are black. They are gazing out towards the right side of the drawing and hold both hands near their chest. They have a hole where their neck would be that has teeth in it. They also have black eyelashes on their top eyelid. The background is a blue sky with various shades of orange and yellow highlights.

Here is a bug I made up recently for world building purposes. It is a small species of parasitic bug that feeds on blood and lives within the nest of the host. They behave similarly to bed bugs. #art #bug #insect #bugart #traditionalart #specevo

A traditional drawing done in black ball point pen of a small bug. The bug has six legs, a sharp angular beak like mouth part that points downwards and is located on the underside of the head, small under developed wings, big black eyes, two short antenna with hairs on them and lots of hairs all over its legs and body. The bug also has three small black dot like eyes on the top of its head. These are ocelli and they are simple eyes that only detect changes in light.
There is also a diagram of the insect's mouthpart piercing skin to access blood and another diagram showing the flow of blood into the mouth part. There is also a another simple drawing showing the insect feeding on a host's skin. This drawing is very simple and not detailed.

I think I might delete my other blue sky account honestly. I made it as a place to post non bug stuff but I barely use it and I have a bigger artist audience over here. Hopefully anyone who's following me for bugs only doesn't mind if I start posting drawings of random creatures sometimes lol.

I really like bees and out of all the groups out there, my top five bee genera are: 1. Andrena 2. Sphecodes 3. Osmia 4. Bombus 5. Nomada The last three are in no particular order, I simply cannot decide how to order those three.
