1. Ant & aphid
2. Orbweaver & fly
3 Cetonia aurata & Scolia hirta
4. Lady beetle & Stag beetle
5. Tarantula hawk & Tarantula

I suddenly realized i never posted all my illustrations for the Yuri Zine!

I tried to pick bugs that have parallels, or real-life interactions! Can you figure them all out? πŸ‘€

Trans people are at risk because the UK have banned trans youth healthcare, and adult HRT pathways are unfit for purpose. If you want to stop DIY HRT or 'black market trans hormones' then lift the fucking ban and make all types of HRT free and accessible through NHS GPs. It's not rocket science.

And if you're wondering why Cetonia aurata & Scolia hirta are the only 2 with the full scientific name, that's because i took inspiration from actual bugs i see on the goldenrod not far from my home for this specific illustration!

The rest are more general ideas and thus get more general names.

A black&white illustration depicting 2 female characters engaged in battle : a smaller black woman with bubble braids turning into smaller braids at the back of her head, wearing spiky, full-plate armor and holding up a knife to the other woman, a taller, fat, black woman with 2 pairs of eyes and sharp fangs, sporting some dreads held back by a hair accessory, smiling sharply as she's grabbing the smaller woman by her necklace to bring her face closer to hers.

A black&white illustration depicting 3 female characters: a goth woman in a minidress with short spiky black hair and black lipstick, a tall, slender woman with light hair and light skin, eyes closed, looking angelic, and a slim woman with light skin and curly light hair, dressed in a cottagecore outfit, a long skirt and a cozy wool jacket. The goth lady and cottagecore lady appear to be arguing over the angelic lady, who doesn't seem to care.

Cheap bic pens are SO good, you can really control the opacity of your lines too??? And they slide soooo nice on paper.
Not even left-handed but I also hate gel pens, they're so tricky to use and they love to undo their own damn lines when you go back over them. Why.
