I fell asleep before I could comment last night- but to me YOU are the cool brave fandom creator!! 🫵 Thank you for creating things and talking with me and in turn encouraging me to make things too! Even though I wasnt rly part of the fandom, you made it really welcoming whenever I decided to peer in

Damn we chose the wrong fucking night to be in Osaka lmfao

Also happy birthday deltarune, I actually did wear my DR t-shirt today but it was completely by chance haha

Happy Halloween! Sorry I haven't posted any invertebrate drawings, or anything at all in a bit. I thought I'd post them while on vacation, but turns out I don't have any time for social media lol. I'll post the inverts after i get home. Bye for a while longer!!

Another of the same kind of moth as yesterday, in my hand. View of its back/wings

I love the sight of autumn foliage against a backdrop of bright blue skies and towering puffy clouds!! I think i would die of heartbreak if i lived somewhere without deciduous trees!!

Did my civic duty and voted early before going on vacation 🫡

Moth with heavily patterned brown wings, presumably for camouflage against tree bark, but it's not doing a good job hiding against the bright blue lid of the container it's in.

Wow, so easy to determine who Not to vote for BOE this year. Thank you transphobes for making yourselves known! 😄✌️🖕

tis the season 🍁💀🦴🍂🚲

But what you probably didn't know is that those are just BABIES!! ADULT antlions look almost like dragonflies. Where are the giant flying ADULT antlions in our video games?!?! I'M TELLING YOU, PROPER INVERTEBRATE REPRESENTATION IS LACKING IN OUR GAMES AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON THEIR BEHALF--

Spoonwings are related to antlions, which, if you've played enough fantasy video games, you have probably seen as massive insects with huge jaws that live in the sand and wait for you to fall in their pit so they can gobble you up.

Continuing the trend of insects with pretty colorful wings, but with something not even closely related to moths/butterflies!! I think it's so cute how its long hindwing gives it a ribbon/bow-like shape! I want to see a real life flying ribbon i mean a spoonwing so bad!!

Spoonwing with pale blue and black stripes on its wings. The forewings are quite rounded, while the hindwings are slender and long. Ink and watercolor.

Nemoptera sinuata - spoonwing lacewing; unsure if there's a common name for this one (2021)

Unlike the last drawing, this moth is alive! In case it wasn't already apparent from my caterpillar-raising habits, I like moths a lot-- they're like butterflies but better. They're fuzzy, have cute feathery antennae, and their colors usually aren't as loud. Cute, chunky, fuzzy, night angels.

So anyway, the deer in headlights is Noelle and the DGAF deer is Dess--

Deer in NJ in spring are so stupid but if they learn that staying on grass means they are safe from danger, then by autumn they think they're hot shit and have so much attitude, istg. I cant even be mad tho, bc thats the proper attitude of any NJ resident

We've all heard of the deer frozen in headlights, but you ever encounter a deer that just doesnt give a fuck? You honk at it, roll down the window, bark like a dog, but it just stares you down and continues to eat?

(Not that i bark at deer, that'd be silly ha ha)

I recently learned that butterfly wings are only positioned like this as dead, preserved specimens so that their forewings and hindwings are as visible as possible. When alive their forewings are held lower, overlapping the hindwings more.

So, sorry for drawing a dead butterfly 😅 Now I know better
