OOooh!

THEY FOUND THE WHITE WITCH CATERPILLAR! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

For context: the white witch is one of the contenders for the largest moth in the world (biggest *wingspan*--loses to the atlas in terms of wing surface area, and loses to the regal for weight). It has a huge range, and the adult is fairly common.

But no one had ever seen a caterpillar. At all. There were only guesses as to what it might look like and what it ate. until this year. These are some of the first images ever taken of it!!

Poor format again(discord no longer works for images which screws me over at the moment), sorry about that. But I’ve been wanting to make a design for my Green June Beetle pair, so behold Roscoe the beetle dragon centaur thing. They’re up on the AH for 6000g like other designs, I am open to haggling and offers in treasure or mixed payment, so don’t be scared to asked. Thank you all so much and I hope you all stay safe out there. Take care of yourselves.

PERCEPTION

[lilybug-02]

Found this random bug in the house and turns out, I know what it is!

It’s a Cuckoo Wasp (Chrysis angolensis). Identified female by the 3 segment abdomen.

They parasitize other solitary wasps by laying eggs in their nests much like a Cuckoo bird. But they are unable to sting, nonaggressive, and mainly feed off nectar. They’re often found in deserts.

Bill and Ford, predator and prey, praying mantis and a moth…

I was inspired by a fantastic concept @the-gay-prometheus introduced me to, feel free to read the screenshots for really interesting notes (also provided by Jay!)

Fun fact: Bill-mantis and Ford-moth are inspired by real bug species! They’re represented by Spiny Flower Mantis and Virginia Creeper Sphinx :]

Next batch of breed re-imagining is here, this time with aethers and fae. It may be just me, but I’ve always associated Arcane with bugs, cephalopods, and rodents, and since a cephalopod take would alter them too much I went with rodent bug buddies.

Bonus of head cannon sizing compared to the previous gaolers and tundras.
