Pyrrhosoma nymphula (female) that I saw yesterday. Showed her my cool mini pool to encourage her to lay eggs there but it didn't seem to convince her. :-(

[img id] Digital art of a small monarch butterfly caterpillar creeping up a milkweed leaf and eating it as it goes. The style of the art is crisp thin outlines with cel shading. The caterpillar is peach with black rings around its body, a black face with shiny eyes, and little bitty nubs for antennae. The milkweed leaf is rendered with seafoam/aqua tones. The watermark on the image reads: 'http://hmcgill.art'. [/id]

MOTHS

GUYS MY FRIEND RAISES MOTHS AND HER FIRST ONE OF THIS YEAR JUST EMERGED!!!!!!

They raise cecropia moths, which are native to our region! They’re super pretty!!! This first one is a female, so they’re releasing her. If they don’t, they’ll end up with hundreds of caterpillars. Surprisingly, even though she just emerged, she’s already mated and laid a couple of eggs, which they’re gonna keep and raise next year :) these moths only live a few days as adults because they, like all other members of the family Saturniidae, don’t have mouths!! This setup is designed to let males stay inside the mesh, and wild females can mate with them to help add to the wild population.

Little herald of spring! ✾(∪へ∪-)

They only appear on early spring and disappear without a trace.

Insects’ camouflage has failed because instead of seeing a bug and thinking “that’s a rock” I see a rock and think “that’s a bug”

"Culinary students will literally have a spaghetti due at 8" "Art students will literally turn in some shapes at the end of the week" Well I have 40 insects due next month. If you even care.
