Say's Mantidfly (Dicromantispa sayi)

#ThrowbackThursday to a couple of years ago when I found this mantidfly in our backyard.

These insects are neither flies nor mantises, but in the same order as lacewings.

I didn't have any macro equipment at the time, but I was glad to get a photo at all and keep hoping to find another.

#Debirdify has been suspended by Twitter without warning or explanation. Apparently it violated ‘Twitter rules and policies’, but that is all they told us.

We contacted Twitter support about the situation, but we are not particularly optimistic.

We always knew this could happen; it happened to other services in the past, so we are neither particularly surprised nor sad about it.

In the mean time, Fedifinder still works: https://fedifinder.social

Use it while you still can!

fun fact about vscode:

every time you make a change to a file it copies it to ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/History or the appdata folder on Windows.

have fun with that information if you edit files with sensitive information in them

Here's another Introduction post as I've just changed instances :)

I'm Sam Santala, a concept artist in games specializing in creatures, characters, anatomy, and stylized designs. Hoping to learn Unreal and start making my own games.

I've worked on things like Guild Wars 2, Everwild, and The Dragon Prince. Nice to meet you all (again)
