the can of worms is infinite

the "lol" does NOT inspire confidence here

and then at last I somberly add to the end of my search, "BOOK"

The results were not what I wanted and I am not sure if I'm on a terror watchlist now.

You may remember the extra green green wasp Ropalidia saussurei. Now, its close relative Ropalidia jemmae may only have a touch of green on their bodies, but what makes them special is their architectural talent. Wasps within Ropalidia have quite a range in styles when it comes to how each species constructs their paper nests. Many, like our beloved greenie R. saussurei, decide to play it discrete and camouflage their nest by using lichen to have it blend in with the tree. R. jemmae gets extra crafty by flipping their nest around so that the open cells face the tree instead of out. This is extra costly both resource and time wise but provides shield-like protection and effectively mimics the look of lichen, hiding the nest in plain sight

WASP BLAST! I got bored, and crammed together every single wasp drawing I have done so far. A collage, if you will. Enjoy!

I cant believe I almost missed her, look at that face 😭

My love for Thomas the green moray eel who lives at the New England Aquarium continues and grows and knows no bounds. He is my muse. This is a plow book I made featuring my guy for my art books class, I love how I can fold him up in many funky ways

For reference, this is me, BTW! I was 15 when I started Dashcon and 17 when it actually happens, and now study tourism’s impact on the critically endangered pygmy raccoon. I’ve been researching them before now, but due to Mexico’s laws, I’ve only been allowed to do data collection from abroad (so think surveys to tourists and video analysis on social media.) But now I’m authorized for in situ research!! Yippee! I even got a grant through my university as well to fund the whole project 🥺

They’re most active on the incoming tide.

I forgot about the insect photos I reblogged and for a second I was like this website's hate mail game is perplexing

Commission Info

All are members of the beetle family Coccinellidae- so all are Lady Beetles. Ladybug is just a term that shows up in the common names of a lot of different species within the family!

Last one may be Halmus chalybeus, steelblue lady beetle (which is also subfamily Chilocorinae)

this makes me want to cry

I had another point, but it got lost in the artful prose of this article.

Look at him. He's so tired.
