Earlier this year we had over 30 Queen Butterflies eclose in our yard! ๐Ÿ˜ Hereโ€™s my Perpetual Journal art chronicling this excitement! I also posted 3 Butterfly success stories with photos on my blog https://paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/lots-and-lots-of-queen-butterflies

I forget the context exactly, I think we were drawing bugs in a discord server and this was my contribution. this one is based on the fire grid burnet moth. there are so many fascinating moth colors in the world

anyway bug anthros are cool I should do more of them maybe

A very cool find! I spotted this termite (Zootermopsis spp.) the other day with a little springtail (Cheirotoma spp.) riding along its back. Apparently those springtails are known to be phoretic, i.e. hitchhikers, on termites.

I used to be very scared of spiders; nowadays I'm fine with most of them, and I actually love jumping spiders. They're just so cute. This little one (Phidippus johnsoni) checked me out while I was out doing photography the other day.
