Howdy! New to this whole Mastodon thing (I'm not even sure what instance I should be on) but eager. Name's Bug — I'm a queer master's student in an entomology lab, passionate about scientific outreach.
When I’m not staring at insects, I spend my time creating zines, comics, other art, and playing D&D. I want to learn how to make video games. Let’s connect if you think little critters are cool!

@bugthebard flipping.rocks might be the sort of instance that interests you? There’s also ecoevo.social for EEB-type academics.
For insect photos, I highly recommend following @sohkamyung
@ashinonyx @sohkamyung Ooo I'm definitely eyeing both of those, thank you. I figure I'll try and get the hang of things for a bit first, but it'd be fun to join a smaller, more themed community eventually.
And I so appreciate how many nature photographers I'm getting recommended - these photos are lovely!
Welcome. Hope you have a good time on Mastodon. 🙂
BTW, if you wish to use any of my photos as reference for your artwork, go ahead. Just let me know and attribute me as a source, which I think is standard practice.
