I can relate to this beaver, I also have many unfinished projects! 😄

I was recently car shopping and they’re all moving to these big touchscreens. Finding a car with actual buttons is a challenge!

I guess they don't really have a head exactly, just a big flat body! 🤔

Thanks, I hope you have a great day too! 🍪🦋🌼🐰🙋‍♂️

Good morning! 😴☕🍪

Ink drawing of a fluffy crab wearing a sponge on its head.

Today I learned that the Fluffy Crab is not only fluffy, but it likes to wear a sponge on its head like a jaunty hat. 🦀 #AugArthroAwe

Did you order that from grubhub? 🐛

Congratulations! 🥠🎉

Yes, I planted it two years ago and this is the first year it's had a lot of flowers.

Yes indeed! I planted it just for the bees. 🐝

Yes! It's a native plant that bees love.

When the bees are happy, I’m happy. 🐝

Thank you! 🐟

Sounds like my kind of garden! 🌸

At first I thought those were letters on the turtle's shell, like they were sharing some secret message! 🐢

Thanks! I saw it reposted, but I wanted to find the original creator's page.

That's hard, I hope you can get drawing more. I'm always glad to see your posts!

This, my friends, is a Wasp mantidfly--an insect not related to any of the three--and it is amazing! 🪲 #insect
(I was moving it off our raised deck down to the plants where it belongs.)

doodle in black ink and white fill on an orange background of a fluffy crab, as the name suggest it is a crab absolutely covered in fuzz, to the point you can barely see the legs as they are also fluffy. only bit showing it is a crab is that the clasps at the front are not covered in fuzz.

Fluffy crab is amazing, I need to draw this fur ball. 😄

Your garden looks great! 😊 Do you see many bees?

Thank you! 🦀

Thanks! 🐠

Good morning, Happy Monday! 😀☕🍩

Yeah, they like scary stories! 🐟🐟🐟

Ink and watercolor drawing in shades of green and blue, depicting a crab with very large eyes, reading the book "Jaws" underwater, as tiny fish look on.

Callichimaera perplexa is a type of crab who lived 95 million years ago, with unusually large eyes that would have been very useful for reading underwater. Below is an artist's depiction based on his own imagination. #AugArthroAwe 🦀

Thanks!

An open sketchbook with illustrations of 7 different types of mantisflies, which look exactly like that, a cross between a praying mantis and fly, in white ink on black paper

Mantisflies were this week's daily 5 minute drawings.

This is obviously a magical creature who wants you to join their quest to save the universe. ✨
