What if a Pepsis used a Cameronella as a dart? Welp, I decided to draw that. Another wasp comic brought to you by my weird brain! 😅

Recently I made a mistake. A boo boo if you will. I didn’t listen to my gut, and here I am now about to confess, feeling a little embarrassed I may add! So recently I released the “tarantula hawk wasp” piece. Now I always do research and look up insects natural environments when making pieces, and I noticed something seemed off, as all the specimens I saw lacked the yellow strip across the thorax, well, it turns out my supplier had sent me Vespa tropica hornets instead, which is actually a predator of other wasps! But I was so flummoxed with getting things done for the update I didn’t persue it at the time. I also thought it was a little funny that the original post got quite a lot of attention but no one noticed or second guessed it either 😅 anyway, So on a better note, I now have preorders of ACTUAL tarantula hawk wasps available on the website, as well as some megascolia velutina ducais giant iridescent black wasps, and some Vespa greater banded hornets! For the time being I only have a set amount of each available. First photo : giant iridescent black wasp, Second and third photos are the tarantula hawk wasp, Final photo is the greater banded hornet Please be sure to read the full item description and check the photos before making a purchase 🖤 #jennascuriocabinet #blackwasp #gothwasp #iridescentwasp #iridescentinsect #greaterbandedhornet #hornets #tarantulahawkwasp #giantwasp #giantinsect #insectsoftheworld #waspsofinstagram #insectartwork #megascolia #waspsnest #waspart https://www.instagram.com/p/CqI59PfKHT1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is New Mexico’s State Insect the Tarantula Hawk Wasp. This is not a very pleasant creature. From Wikipedia: “A tarantula hawk is a spider wasp (Pompilidae) that preys on tarantulas. Tarantula hawks belong to any of the many species in the genera Pepsis and Hemipepsis. They are one of the largest parasitoid wasps, using their sting to paralyze their prey before dragging it to a brood nest as living food; a single egg is laid on the prey, hatching to a larva which eats the still-living prey.” #NewMexico #NewMexicoStateInsect #TarantulaHawk #TarantulaHawkWasp #VirtualOilPainting https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_oS6nAuXk/?igshid=kbyu1qsjwern

The official New Mexico State insect, the Tarantula Hawk Wasp. These are solitary hunting insects where the females sting and paralyze their captured prey for their young in burrows. #roamtheplanet @arguelloarts #beautifuldestinations @eliuddeanarguello #discoverearth #goexplore #intothewild #indigenous #spiderwasp #newmexico #waspspider #harmony #tarantulahawkwasp #wasp #hikerslife #explore #earth #nature #mothernature #dulce #vivid #tarantula #beauty #argüelloarts #photooftheday #142 #summer #insects #stateinsect (at Dulce, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2g5lPVl8uh/?igshid=st9qeqo44u2p

ABQZF7 Exhibitor Interview: Amaris Feland Ketcham

WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR ZINE?

Amaris Feland Ketcham, Tarantula Hawk Wasp

PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE ZINES YOU'LL BE TABLING AT ABQZF7! *

WHY DID YOU CREATE THEM? WHAT ARE THEY ABOUT?

These zines are tiny lyric essays about the tarantula hawk wasp. I have been working on a “poetic inventory” of Albuquerque, (including the Sandia Mountains to the Rio Grande and parts of the West Mesa Open Space). It is analogous to a “scientific inventory” of a location’s biodiversity, where field ecologists catalogue all of the flora and fauna present in the area. Unlike a scientific inventory, the works moves beyond a strictly literal cataloging; instead it explores the relationship between “wilderness and civilization,” human impact on designated nature zones/open space, and how wilds reemerge within the city.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MAKING/WRITING ZINES? *

HOW DID YOU GET STARTED?

This is actually my first zine.

WHAT MAKES A ZINE A ZINE TO YOU? *

DEFINE "ZINE," IN YOUR WAY.

To me a zine is a handmade, do-it-yourself form of publishing.

How do zines contribute to literary culture? *

I think that zines are incubators for ideas. They allow for experimentation, risk, and failure--and therefore growth.

DO YOU HAVE A ZINE CRUSH?! IF SO, ARE YOU WILLING TO REVEAL THE OBJECT OF YOUR ZINE AFFECTION? *

Not yet. Perhaps I'll meet my zine crush at Zinefest!

What do you enjoy most about making zines? What do you find to be most frustrating about the process? *

I like playing with different materials and ideas, drafting and revising. The most frustrating part is finishing a small print run and finding a typo.

HOW HAVE ZINES HELPED YOU GROW AS AN ARTIST/WRITER/MUSICIAN/THINKER/MAKER? *

I started making this zine to think through some of the issues of the poetic inventory that I have been working on. First I started making artists books out of some of the poems, then hammering others onto pieces of wood, turning some into small art projects, and really just experimenting with what a poem can be and how it can be communicated.

HOW MANY ZINES ARE IN YOUR COLLECTION AND WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITES? *

My collection is still growing, but I just learned that someone I've known for years used to make comic zines about archaeology field work. I now have a stack of reading that I'm really excited about.

WHAT KIND OF ZINE DO YOU WANT TO WRITE/CREATE THAT YOU HAVEN'T EXPLORED YET? *

(TOPIC, FORMAT, STYLE, ETC.)

Autobiographix/essay comics.

LIST ALL SOCIAL MEDIA, WEBSITES, OR OTHER ONLINE SPACES WHERE YOUR WORK IS DISPLAYED. *

WE WILL PROMOTE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE WHEN WE POST YOUR INTERVIEW.

I don’t think I’ve ever knowingly seen #milkweed in New Mexico. And then I came across a whole field of them behind Ventana Dam. There were dozens of #TarantulaHawkWasps feeding on them. I’m looking forward to seeing some #MonarchButterflies when they pass through. (at Ventana Ranch Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fQWVOFF95/?igshid=fsjrip7xq9r1

Finishing touches - I pride myself on the details and finishing touches on every piece I make. Especially with domes, I often spend too long trimming flowers to perfectly fill spaces. Every detail counts. Now, on another note, I put something in my stories today regarding the update. I haven’t had masses of time to showcase all the products I have made for the update, so please, if you have a second head to my stories to take a vote on the idea I’ve had for you all! I would type it out but I fear I’d bore you, especially as I’ve done a little video for you all instead. Anyway, thank you all for looking! #jennascuriocabinet #finishingtouches #marchmeetthemaker2023 #meetthemaker #tarantulahawkwasp #giantwasp #wasp #insectartwork #spiderwasp #pepsini #insectdiorama #dioramaart #dioramaartist #norfolkart #pepsisheros #odditiescollection #victorianinspired #victoriandecor #victorianart https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiXsG3K7bq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
