SADIE 𓅐

A light colored Shih Tzu dog lays on the kitchen floor on a rug observing a spider trapped under a drinking glass. The spider appears to be a False Black Widow, with similar shaping but lighter brown colors.

Observation time.
This has derailed cleaning efforts, but it’s for science so that’s ok.

My beloved western conifer seed bug 😌

Beetle Pupae really are something special. The form of the developing rainbow stag inside this one is so clearly visible. Mandibles, eyes, and even little legs tucked in.

Since initiative is recalculated each turn I wanted some visual indication of that. Also, if a character strikes a target that was defeated by a previous attack, they restore 5% of their WP as an Overkill Bonus!

Guess who finally matured? 🥹 We've never seen such striking yellow on a spider before. Maple has outdone herself

She decided to celebrate this milestone by exploring her play gym. She said it's 10/10 😉

Species: Phidippus Otiosus

I just feel out of place and out of my depth. Not that I'm an entomologist either--I'm sure I'd be a little out of my depth if it was a bug program too. But for some reason insects just click for me. I feel like kind of an idiot.

I wish I enjoyed the class I was doing with Audubon more. I love birds but maybe I'm not as big a bird person as I thought? Definitely my favorite class of vertebrate but idk. Nothing grips me quite the way insects do. I don't know why they're the only thing in the world I seem to get. :(

Okay now WHAT is a yellow-striped armyworm doing out in this weather? 😭 Never seen a caterpillar trekking through the snow before but hey man you do you

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Serenity. Here's a Muscovy duck with five ducklings enjoying a quiet swim.

Cooper’s hawk with an insanely full crop glares at me. Tons of birds forage below him as if they can see that simply nothing more can fit.

I believe I’m being told to mind my own business regarding what’s in the crop. #birds

Dont even talk to me right now okay I just found out that pelican spiders exist and I am very emotional

Ooh I'm so jealous, they're so cool!!

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.

Milkweed I miss you so

This is the face of a criminal who chewed through his goddamn seatbelt

Doing this on @sadleby.bsky.social rn btw

Poor goober cut his paw and needed stitches

It's kind of crazy that Timberdoodles just have Byakugan and nobody talks about it

Can't believe Bowie passed away ten years ago today. Rest easy, legend. Forever my favorite coreid <3

Great Horned Owls singing on a cold winter night with snow on the ground and flurries in the air...Dude. Life.

Two golden-brown woodpeckers sitting on a thick branch. The male is on the left and in focus. He is looking at female on the right who is raising her beak to greet him.

Happy New Year everyone! Find yourself someone who looks at you like this male Northern Flicker looks at the female in the foreground. 🪶

A photo of a green katydid from underneath as it peers over a door frame. The Katydid's slender brown antennae stretch upwards at an acute angle. Its face peers downwards at the camera, it's eyes green around the edges and brown towards the centers. It's underside is pale green with some white along the segments of its abdomen. It's over all impression is that the katydid has a bit of saucy attitude as it looks at the camera.

An important message from the Union of Saucy Bug Friends™.

2026 had better behave or it's going to get bitten!

Fork-tailed Bush Katydid, Scudderia furcata C.2025
