YOLO as they say

Silly nugget of a speckly gray planthopper with stripy eyes, facing you and looking like a sheep as it grazes on the "grass" of a fuzzy leaf

Missing him (tiny sheep with the normal number of legs and wings)

(Issid planthopper)

or you could wait for the december 2026 edition lol

this is the perfect embodiment of the word chungus

a lot of them are underdocumented/undiscovered in certain localities. there's a HUGE possibility of you being the first person to record a predator/prey interaction, larvae to adult life cycle, or even sometimes entire species, etc. especially now that cameras are better & more affordable than ever

Meme of two identical pie charts stacked. The pie chart are divided into equal quarters with a legend on the right. The top pie chart says: Nobody Will Remember: Your salary How "busy" you were How many hours you worked How many Gucci bags you owned The bottom pie chart says: People Will Remember: How much you knew about bugs The time you spent learning about bugs If you knew facts about bugs that made them smile If they learned to love bugs because of you

Hello Insectphile Friends!

I’m giving a casual presentation to a “ladies lunch” group next week about insects. I can talk for days about insects, both scientifically & emotionally, but that’s just me.

Tell me & help me, what should I include about why YOU love insects?

Hugs & Bugs!
💚🪲

me like "pssst hey kid you wanna.... DRAW SOME BUGS"

@petrathepostdoc.bsky.social is on a mission to recruit as many kids as possible for this edition. So adults, you also gotta show up! Don't let the kids beat you to it.

The website is currently down while Saimi does some maintenance, but if you want to submit early to the April art book, you can start now!

(by giant i mean 5% larger than the other mussels)

i don't animate so idk. i also think this is a bit dramatic but i assume it's because people have longstanding grievances with adobe in general, which added to the frustration

this is so cute!!!

Illustration eines Rotkehlchens mit leuchtend orangefarbener Brust, das auf einem schneebedeckten Ast sitzt. Um den Vogel liegt eine winterliche Landschaft aus hügeligen Formen, kahlen Sträuchern, feinen Pflanzen und einem geschwungenen Bach, alles in intensiven Blau-, Violett-, Grün- und Türkistönen gemalt. Schneeflocken fallen durch einen dunklen Nachthimmel. Eine illustration, die ich am IPad gezeichnet habe.

Ich muss E-Mails beantworten, allerdings muss ich auch Vögel zeichnen. Es war eine sehr schwere Wahl, sich da für eine Sache zu entscheiden, na ja … SCHWEREN HERZENS habe ich dann doch erstmal den Vogel gemacht (wer beantwortet jetzt bitte meine Mails 😩😩😩)

yeah i immediately mute people who post things i don't want to see without alt

Very nice paper for those of us preserving specimens in alcohol!

YouTube video by Crowne Prince Adobe Just Killed My Career

welp that's one more adobe horror story
tldr they're killing Animate/Flash effective next month

yeah lol my project from last year was about an underdocumented site in sumatra so there'd be no photos of them online, but the new photos they took were also... unhelpful

yeah, though if we factor in job satisfaction compared to working for other people, this path is probably still pretty appealing to people

(but still, survivorship bias)

this is a nice example of how the allure of big numbers starts to fall apart when you factor in taxes and the total hour spent on a project

PM repost so the night owls see this giveaway too!

PSA for all the horny toad enthusiasts on my feed

we don't eat goose here so i've never seen one in this state and the proportion of that wing REALLY threw me off wow

100+ for me too

hmmm this makes a lot of sense
