Hoping to do more for Artfight this year! Likely just going to be doing sketches unless something really jumps out at me, but... yeah!

Saying "mosquitoes are annoying" after one bites me but shaking my head the whole time so the attractive single ecologists in my area know I understand their value in the ecosystem and that we would slowly die if they went extinct

Beetles are always up to some goofy shit. Forked fungus beetle developing unbelievable grip strength for the sole purpose of gripping their mate for dear life while other males try to pry them off

why bother caring about the environment when 1. It’s so obviously a lost cause and 2. There’s definitely going to be a nuclear war?

And what are you doing about it Anon? Learn about ecological restoration or get out of my way.

Hmmmm

What is your favorite kind of bug? (If you can choose one favorite, that is)

oh fuck the most impossible question

if i HAD you chose

i would say jumping spiders, regal jumping spiders in particular. just because i have so many great memories with them.

this is boots

she was my second jumping spider and genuinely the love of my life. i found some kind of companionship with her that i have yet to find with anything or anyone else in my entire life.

she was such a sweet little thing. used to spend hours with me just sitting on my hands or my shoulder, taking long naps while i did crafts or homework. she lived very long and i really really hope i gave her the best life she could’ve had.

that sweet little baby will always hold such a hug space in my heart. and she is one of the major reasons why i’m so obsessed with bugs today.

also, you can thank boots for this blog 🥾!

I LOVE JUMPING SPIDERS SO MUCH AAAAA

I wanted a creepy crawly critter :3 Centipede baby

[coleopterabyte]

SO UHHH THIS IS MY FURSONA MOTH THINGY-

She can have either two or four arms (she can switch between the two forms but she only has wings with her four armed form)! She also has a human and a weremoth form!

I’m currently working on some more art of her!

Hope you enjoy! ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶
