Or at the very least not spat on before any question being asked of them 🙄

Acrylic painting of a Many Spotted Tiger Moth sitting on a Crassula Buddha's Temple succulent. Behind the succulent is a black and white fish scale pattern. In place of the moth's antennae are green vines holding a large human eye.

A tiny painting from 2021, featuring a Many Spotted Tiger Moth on a Crassula Buddha's Temple succulent. Was also the cover of @doorisajarmag.bsky.social last Fall.

He was rambling on about the war he got us into and veered off into curtain talk, then seamlessly continued on to discuss the men that have lost their lives.

Pen and ink illustration of a very round partridge, drawn in black and white, then coloured digitally in painterly tones of blue and brown.

I just missed the recent #BirdOfTheDay birb/borb theme, colouring up this brush-pen sketch of a grey partridge in Procreate at a get-together with drawing friends last week. #birds

Silhouetted tree branches reflected on a puddle on a railway station platform

Living in #Glasgow one might have a favourite puddle. This is currently mine

Black and white photo of a long thin rain puddle on a road with the reflection of tree branches. The nearby winter trees line the road by a village green with houses behind.

A greenish black toad with large, widely spaced warty bumps on their back, perched on a stick! The warty bumps are brown in color, as is the top of their head, their large parotoid glands, and the back sides of their legs!

Our friend the Udzungwa Glandular Tree Toad was first described as a new species just a few months ago! Like other toads in genus Nectophrynoides, they do not lay eggs and instead give birth to fully developed toadlets! (photo by John Lyakurwa)
