[ID: an illustration of a black and yellow striped fly with large red eyes. It is perched on a purple flower, which peeks through a bee-striped border. Test reads: "Hoverfly (Eupeodes spp.) Larvae help control aphids while adults pollinate flowers. They mimic bees to ward off predators, but they are harmless and don't bite or sting humans." End.]

Last of my three pun drawings for a biology magazine! Featuring a Episyrphus balteatus -hoverfly, a housefly, and a Chrysops caecutiens -deer fly.

"Kaksi kärpästä yhdellä iskurepliikillä" means "two flies with one pickup line". It is a variation of "kaksi kärpästä yhdellä iskulla", which literally means "two flies with one strike", but is in fact the Finnish version of the idiom "two birds with one stone".

💙Azura & Mustard Ref Sheet💙

I felt like making myself a new bugsona since I’m more attached to spiders! I still will use Stardust (my other bugsona, the butterfly), but Azura will be my new main bugsona. Spoods just make me happy >w<

And meet Mustard, her loyal lil pet hoverfly! 💛
