I also do commissions for Robux, which you can find info for in the below image and in this google doc -> docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Microstylum morosum or the "Giant Prairie Robber Fly" living up to their name - what a HUGE fly! 🫡

NE Oklahoma, iphone video (wish it would've locked the color balance while filming!)

A macro photo, vertical orientation, of the front half of a mantis, head down on a mossy branch at night and seen from the side. The mantis is mottled brown, green, and yellow, helping it blend in against tree bark. It has wing buds but not full size wings, indicating its a nymph.

Juvenile mantis, Costa Rica (I think Chaeteessa sp.). Well-camouflaged creatures are among my favorite macrophoto subjects; what seems drab from a distance almost always has beautiful complexity up close. Look at the thin yellow edging on the raptorial forelegs, for instance. 🐙🌿 #insects

photo of a sketchbook page showing a small painting of a phantom crane fly. The insect has very thin long legs, which are positioned in a star shape. The background is light pink, the crane fly is white and black.

Lithacodes fasciata, 7/9/25

A sideview of a brownish-yellow moth on a net. In the middle of the wings a broad gray stripe runs down diagonally. The moth has its abdomen raised into the air.

Been struggling a bit to find motivation to post, sorry about that..

Here’s a moth as compensation

the moth,,,

(drawing him for a comm example)

I did in fact render him

I need to figure out shading lmao, *especially* how to do highlights without it looking weird or plastic-y

Apparently a lot of you need to hear this, but bugs aren't jerks, they're not evil, they're not vindictive, mean or anything else. They're simply bugs, trying to live and will defend their nests and lives when necessary. They don't give enough shit about you to be a jerk to you in particular.

Image shows an illustration with multiple drawings of a tall, lanky butterfly like creature.

Drew him some more hehe
Changed his design slightly too 😌 This goober is fun to draw

ohhhh that would make more sense I think!!!

I've seen them be pretty common in times I've traveled to east central Florida, I think they're just expanding their range northwards especially as the climate warms and their hostplant is available. then again it could just be a weird stray

A firefly pupa with glowing lantern rests on a brown leaf.

Did you know that firefly glow as larvae and pupae? I found this shrimp-like pupa in my garden earlier this summer. 🍤

Finished my polyphemus moth. She is going to be part of a large pice im working on.

Cekro's Commission Info!! Here I will be listing things like pricing, general guidelines for what I will accept, and examples of my art!! Do note that I am a fairly slow artist, and more often than not drawing can take a whil...

Now that artfight's over I can open robux comms again ^^

I reworked the way I do payment, so hopefully the process is a little easier!

You can check my info below if you're interested, I only take on one comm at a time to avoid burnout

docs.google.com/document/d/1...

“Scientists have discovered a giant new species of stick insect in Australia, which is over 15 inches long and researchers say may be the heaviest insect in the country.”

(Art) A sideview of a spinosaurid against a stormy forest background with lightning bolts in the back. The head appears to take on a skull appearance and colors. The neck has varying dark blue and green shades, with light blue bioluminescent spots along the center of the neck glowing. The eye glows a similar blue.

You know what sure I feel like posting my last art fight attack here

For @wolfenru, I’m really proud of this one lol

a digital drawing of a character belonging to Cuttle-creatures. she's a humanoid earwig esque insect, flying through space on her glowing wings, a halo glowing around her antennae. the drawing is colored in limited, pink and turquoise color palette

revenge on @cuttledreams.bsky.social prebby bug lady
#artfight #teamfossils

way more people should be deeply deeply dismayed about the increasingly collapsing population of insects, because they are so widely reviled (TAUGHT behavior, pls challenge this shit) its not commonly understood what a frightening harbinger of death that is

genuinely think insects should be revered as perfect beings of evolution instead of the revulsion and disgust way too many ppl have towards them.

more bugs! firefly, centipede, mantis, seedbug

Cryptid and Serotine on both sides of the drawing forming a heart using their antennae

Small-eyed Sphinx Moth from above. An extremely fancy moth with angular wings. Base color of the forewings is a warm mid brown, with darker brown, gold, and purple patterning. The front edges of the hindwings project in front of the forewings, and they're pale pink, gold, and brown. The furry thorax is purple with a gold stripe down the middle.

Azalea Sphinx moth from above. This moth is sleek and subtly patterned. It's mostly shades of light and darker brown with some rufous on the thorax and pink on the hindwings.

TWO new sphinx moth species tonight to finish off #NationalMothWeek! Small-eyed Sphinx and Azalea Sphinx 🌿 #TeamMoth

Sarota acantus! 😍

Extremely cute butterfly we spotted one afternoon in Costa Rica - a male (note reduced front legs) metalmark butterfly (family Riodinidae) - one of several fluttering about a plant at chest height - a pleasure to photograph!

Illustration of a neon variable sea slug. The image is made of cut paper layered together. The slug is black with teal and orange stripes, and the background has gray rocks with yellow, orange, and green reef flora/fauna

Don't have new art atm, but I'll repost some old papercraft illustrations for #invertefest

Neon Variable Sea Slug 🖌️🐠

Mesopanorpa from middle Jurassic china

Rusty brown, long bodied cicada with transparent wings with a few spots. It is on a white sheet.

The cicada zoomed in. On the centre of the thorax is a black •w• mark.

Cicada next to band. Its body alone is as long as my middle finger

Largest cicada in the world! Megapomponia imperatoria (empress cicada) came to the moth sheet at Fraser’s Hill, Malaysia.

A coloured character illustration of Sear the spider person sneakily lighting up the fuse of a firecracker with a lit match. Sear is a fluffy spider-taur person that is mostly dark grey with blue, purple and pink stripes. He wears a pink shirt and a purple and blue hoodie. The classic red and yellow striped firecracker is stuck in the ground with a stick, Sear is a quarter of its size.

Revenge for @pterouras.bsky.social >:D
