Two page spread of realistic watercolor paintings of a diversity of moths plus handwritten inked information including the common name, wingspan, and larval foods. The moths have shadows beneath them which makes it look like they're on a white sheet ready to take off. The moth survey is from August 18, 2021 at the Schulenberg Prairie at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL.

Finally finished the right page on my August 2021 moth survey from my IL Prairie Nature Journal. Just love the diversity of all these moths from the Midwest!

One of life’s greatest joys, watching an artist in full flow…

Pixel art featuring the 'Apapane bird, a red honeycreeper endemic to Hawaii. It has a gray pointed beak, black feathers on its wings and tail, and white fluff on its underside.

A pixel 'Apapane for today's #AvianAugust !

My pleasure you’re a lovely welcoming bunch!

Did some actual illustration today for a fun prompt, in between feeling coldy bleurgh! Since getting ill last year I’m having to relearn my bodies responses to things like colds. 😬

Managed to get my very mothy submission in today! Definitely worth a gander fellow #SciArt folks @franzanth.bsky.social and Co always put together a stunning book for #InverteFest

Yeah

Maybe a bit of araldite? I use that for my jewellery findings and it’s pretty solid.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

What a lovely setting to see such a beauty!

A photograph of a Jersey Tiger Moth resting in a lush dark green ivy leaf and surrounded by even more lush ivy. It's wings are tucked behind it forming a kind of arrowhead shape. The wings have incredible black and light yellowish cream, almost zebra like, stripes.

A laser cut wooden statement necklace by Loadofolbobbins. It shows an illustration of lush dark green veined ivy leaf with a Jersey tiger moth perched atop it. The jersey tiger moth stands proud of the leaf. The moth has black and yellowy cream zebra like stripes on it's wings, which are tucked behind it looking like an arrow head shape. The necklace is hung from a antique bronze cable chain. The necklace is laying against a white wood background and surrounded by real ivy clippings.

Art imitates life, imitates art...great @savebutterflies.bsky.social #BigButterflyCount yesterday our first Jersey Tiger Moth for many years! Not seen since I drew the one that inspired my Ivy League collection... spot the difference! 😁

It’s always depressing seeing who joins this nightmare of remakes that bolster such a hateful person! So many more amazing stories by truly lovely people that deserve to be heard!

Ooh when does it close?

A digital illustration of a black and purple shiny scorpion with blue, white and orange star shapes overlaid in the pattern of the constellation Scorpio. It is framed by a border star and spike patterns, with corner stars in squares, and a pin inner background with a pattern of clouds.

Made this last year for a stamp rally and not sure I ever shared it so have a lil Scorpio.

My most recent commission - a really fun challenge making non-standard VTuber models! This is my test live tracking my motion in VSeeFace to make sure it's all working correctly🪶

Loving the Ravilious vibes of this one!

Instantly surface, cite, compare and explore trusted evidence from deep within peer-reviewed literature with ScienceDirect AI.

My god, what is happening to science? www.sciencedirect.com

This is so deeply upsetting and troubling!

What can we do as scientist to resist AI slop polluting, and ultimately destructing, our fields of study?

Please join me in telling @sciencedirect.bsky.social that we do not want this!

A 1000 piece jigsaw measuring 66cm x 50cm includes A4 poster. It's of an illustration by loadofolbobbins of a group of 23 moths of different colourful species flying and perching around a lit light bulb, surrounded by foliage. The foliage and light bulb are all drawn in black, in the top left is a section of trailing ivy which leads to two thin branches, on of which has a Kentish Glory moth clinging to it. The light bulb is hanging in the centre of the image from a woven single light cord and the edison style bulbs filament is glowing. In the bottom right corner of the image is a large leaf with an equally large female emperor moth perched on it, just above this is a series of tall grasses, one of which has a scarlet tiger moth clinging to it. There is also a small clump of grass in the bottom left corner of the image which very slightly obscure a large emerald moth beneath. The other moths include a mint moth, peppered moth, ethmia pusiela, scarce forester moth, barred hook-tip moth, ruby tiger moth, brimstone moth, mother shipton moth, blood-vein moth, cinnabar moth, schreckensteinia festaliella, large fruit tree tortix moth, elephant hawk moth, buff ermine, red underwing moth, hummingbird hawk moth, hypercallia citrinilis, chrysoclistra linnella and the herald moth. All of these are either perched facing or flying around the light bulb.

I've sourced a great Made in the UK supplier for this jigsaw, they use millboard that's 100% recycled and printed with local vegan inks and produced jigsaws for the likes of Dolly Parton and lots of lovely museums!

A section of stained glass at Llandaff Cathedral showing six small painted panels, each depicting a different bird in naturalistic detail. The birds include a kingfisher, partridge, pigeon, and other species, set against a pale background with surrounding small rectangular plain glass panes. The style is delicate and illustrative, capturing the birds in lifelike poses.

A beautiful flock frozen in glass at Llandaff Cathedral. These delicate panels showcase birds with vivid detail and a painter’s care—each a tiny portrait of nature caught in light. #WindowsOnWednesday #LlandaffCathedral #StainedGlass #Birds

It was so lovely and very happy flying around quite close, so got to see lots of lovely detail.

Thanks, looks like a good match to me! It’s a real stunner, was fluttering about for ages. 😊

A beautiful moth feeding on purple buddleia. It's wings are outstretch and it is browns and coppers in colour with two white splodges on each upper wing.

Been quite the morning for beautiful flutterers in our UK garden, saw our first Hummingbird Hawk-moth and this absolute beauty...Another one for the #TeamMoth ID crew as I once again reiterate I am an enthusiastic amateur when it comes to IDing.
