(This is a Great Golden Digger Wasp - Sphex ichneumoneus - doing what its name implies, digging. But you may also notice, if you turn the sound on, that she’s making some incredible noises as she does so.)

I dont know literal shit about butterflies but i like cardboard and i like paint so here we are trying to make a thing that resembles an icarus butterfly 🙏🙏

Cardboard is so addictive, already planning what to do next 🙈

Finished drawer! Lots of more neutral/brown tones here. If I’m ever unsure of how I want to spread something I’ll go on GBIF, search the species/genus, go to the gallery view, then filter by only preserved specimens, and look around to see what looks best to me. I would prefer to use SCAN but well. SCAN is unfortunately no more.

I think I like Joltik hrmmmmmm

As per the instructions, I placed my objects on the paper, put them outside in full sun for 15 minutes, then rinsed and dried them. But this is ass. Bad paper or bad technique?

Back in the water, slightly less bad
