Lola needs help again! She's in college and trying to study on an empty stomach while worrying about HRT and stable housing (again). The goal for this survival fund is 800 USD.

This week on Vivere 44 - spontaneous pet adoption?

Vreaz and his crew encounter a stowaway creature on their ship. This comic properly introduces Nurlot! (and fulfils my ulterior motive of fleshing out the crew more)

This is probably the most ambitious project I've done for this story. Don't know if I'll attempt something like this again, but I hope you guys enjoy it anyhow!

this mud dauber wasp (Sceliphron caementarium) seemed distressed about something in her clay nest. Turns out it had been commandeered by a keyhole wasp (Pachodynerus nasidens), who was now aggressively asserting ownership

keyhole wasps, which hunt weevils and other small beetles, will opportunistically nest in any sort of small cavity (such as a keyhole). The existing literature on this species doesn’t say anything about taking over other wasp‘s nests, only that they sometimes refurbish abandoned nests, but I guess this one didn’t get the memo.

This isn't the worst of their mischief though- they also have a habit of building nests that clog up the airspeed measuring instruments in planes and have caused several fatal crashes.
