Garden Tiger moths, for I have been told it is #invertefest again. - Grey #Art #Bugs #Moth

A pair of Garden tiger moths (Arctia caja) as seen from the back. One is perched, one is launching into flight with hindwings exposed. The hindwings are a fiery orange with iridescent blue flashing patches. This is to warn predators that they are very toxic.

Colour and background details were aided by my partner's suggestions. Some details were reproduced from naturally deceased specimens in my collection.

Some extra details: These moths can be very bold and will sometimes grace outdoor lights or window panes at night. Their caterpillars can sometimes be attracted by foxglove plants. Adults will make noises if you upset them, the same response they use to warn bats.

Warning: Do not plant foxgloves where children or a pet could reach them, they are toxic. Do not unwisely pick up the caterpillars, they have irritating spines.

🦋 Cover Reveal!✨ So excited to finally share the cover art I created for • Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • @hexagonmagazine.bsky.social 🎨

Cover art I created for • Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • - Cover is a rectangle of a symmetrical detailed mirror half drop repeat pattern inspired by arts and crafts era wallpaper. In the middle section is a dragonfly facing down from overhead with paper wasps facing outwards above over top of branching leaves. Below and above is the central repeated motif of a large leaf insect from above framed by lace wing butterflies turned outward and stag beetles facing inward. Surrounding and underneath all of them are stylized leaf branches with round large berries. The entire pattern is in intense ochre yellow and mahogany brown shades with pops of pale yellow for the berries. Over top is a handmade paper texture and fine line ink work in brown and pale yellow for threadbare highlights on the wasp and butterfly wings.

A moth, pale as moonlight, flutters under a violet-magenta night sky. Their wingbeats leave soft sonic ripples in their wake, mingling with the music of the stars 𖤓

Another leaf for the nest 💛 #Art #Dove #Raven #Oak

A dove (Eurasian collared) is happily presenting a bright green oak leaf to a large raven. The background was loosely designed after experimental 360 photography that catches both the ground and sky in one single shot.

(One of my inspirations was a video of a captive dove going absolutely overboard with maple leaf gifts for their mate/nest! 💛)

Lots of thanks to my partner Grey, who is always willing to share their own expertise and suggestions.

A rather fortunate wildflower find on Monday, given that the #AlphabetChallenge is #WeekDforDark and this is the first time I've spotted Dark Mullein this year #WildFlowerHour

the Assassin's Bug Guild would like to remind you to practice #selfCare, #hydrate, have a snack, stretch, and remember to save any progress you might be working on. 🥷 Green Assassin Bug, Zelus luridus with a fly (not sure what species) slurpee. #MacroPhotography #insects #Bugs

Long, slender, brown antennae emerge from between the glossy brown eyes. Its long pointy mouth parts are buried into the thorax of a black fly which roughly resembles a house fly.

Two year anniversary of when I first posted this comic

Two panel comic. Panel 1: an anglerfish is washed up on the ocean shore, laying in the tide. It thinks to itself, “it’s so beautiful.” Panel 2: wide shot of the beach, rocky cliffs, and sky at sunset, with the anglerfish still laying in place. The anglerfish continues thinking to itself, “I might have never known.”

A piece that Grey and I worked on together☀️ We're trying to ease back into art after a pretty serious health scare. So very thankful to have my partner well again💛

A cloudy sky near sunset, the clouds painted soft shades of peach, lilac, and light cyan.

Above the clouds, a bearded vulture glides, trailing a glow like the aurora. The light of the setting sun gilds their outline in a warm greeting.

Portrait of a Bird

The way bird feathers shine in sunlight. The way a creature's eye is lit in passing. A collage of shattered pottery, pinned in between copper threads of dream and hope.
