Teddy Bear Bee. Pen sketch (pre-color).
There are a handful of bees referred to as teddy bears, I captured Amigilla bombiformus.
They do look mad snuggle-able, not gonna lie.

Saw this adorable Louisiana Waterthrush in the STL area! Apparently they're fairly uncommon this far north.

It was fun seeing the little guy hang around me for a while!

A linocut print in black ink on beige rustic paper with little bark inclusions. The print features two white ibises, one close to the viewer, one in the distance, both in a swampy southern US location (Wakulla Springs, Florida). There's some saw palmettos in front and cypress trees and cypress knees in the back

For #PrintPromptMonday. Theme is #favouritepiece. It's hard to pick a favourite but I think my ibises at Wakulla Springs are a favourite of mine.

Illustrated: Orchard mason bees (Osmia lignaria). Mason bees nest in holes in the ground and carry pollen on their bellies instead of their legs. Orchard bees are really, really good at pollinating fruit trees. These guys mate immediately upon the emergence of the females in the spring.
