soooo cool!

It did leave a tiny little scar though, which is kind of cool! But honestly, it was much less worse than I feared a botfly would be, since I’d heard about them before. He was a pretty okay roommate!

I didn’t realize I had it until someone pointed out that it looked like I had an infected mosquito bite and then I could see its breathing tube poking out of my skin when I was showering later that day! I got it squeezed out…it actually popped out of my skin haha. But it wasn’t that painful!

I had a botfly larva in my wrist once. I still have the lil guy in a vial of alcohol somewhere. 😅

My hand holding an illustration of a tiny opossum clutching a stem of a white bloodroot flower. There are branches of a flowering peach tree in the background.

Happy Spring! 🌸 so ready for warmer days and flowers again!

Ridiculously floofy and brightly colored pink and yellow rosy maple moth, on a twig, his little face peering over it at you.

The colorful floof on my finger

Face of the silly creature, little pink feets clutching my finger

Close shot of his face, on my finger. Large feathery yellow antennae, black eyes barely visible in the pink floof

Guess what time of year it is in my yard 👀

love these!! :)

Digital art of Asphaera quadrifasciata, a flea beetle. It has long antennae, a red head with black eyes, and a round, white body splotched and striped with a vivid pink.

soooo precious!!

I blocked the number so fast 😭 the shame of it all!!

One time my airdrop wasn’t working from my phone to iPad, so I tried texting myself the photos…but I messed up my phone number by one digit and didn’t realize until the recipient laugh reacted to them 💀

Thank you! Tea is one of my favorites, too—I’ve been particularly loving a peppermint chocolate blend from the holidays! :)

Happy Year of the Snake!

ahhh thank you so much!! 😭🩷 I really love your art!
