So there are several species of frogs that have evolved to be so small that their vestibular balance system doesn't work well and I'm sorry but it's the funniest thing to watch them try to jump.

Found a wasp-mimicing jumping spider today!!!

It's gonna be a good day.

I finished my first commissioned invertebrate sculpture recently -- a female Scolopendra subspinipes, also known as a Malaysian jewel centipede, guarding her clutch of eggs! She was quite the challenge, boasting 22 body segments and 44 legs in total, but the finished product was absolutely worth the work.

I didn't get a super professional photo of the bottom of the piece but I looooove how the legs wrap around it:

I am always open to talk about commissions if anyone is looking for a specific invertebrate sculpture at illustration!

Doodled while waiting for files to transfer- my jumping spider Axel ate his first young dubia today! It was so cute, he was holding it like a little hamburger.

Love how the dark facial fovea on this arizonan Perdita (aff. luteola or xanthochroa) gives it little false cartoon dot eyes
