NO WAYYYY! 🤯🤯🤯
Is this the COOLEST stick insect ever?? 💚

This mossy girl (Taraxippus sp.) from Peru was the most incredible phasmid I have ever seen, I could not get over how perfectly camouflaged it was on the mossy trees! 🌳
So in awe of our natural world! 🌿

Indigo fungi. Almost like someone has carefully drawn these lines with a blue-ink fountain pen. These were old shiitake logs but these guys have taken over. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Fungi #FungiFriends

Turkey-tail fungi with dark blue lines that looks like fountain pen ink. The edges have white stripes.

If you see this, post your bird art 🐦
Illustration I made for S.A. Harian's book Briardark. The image is showing a deer skull in a central composition, with songbirds on its horns. The songbirds are chirping and flying around, with white flowers and climbing plants intertwined around it.

| Tainted Soil 🥀

Yearly piece for the series "Poppies of the Great War"

This time inspired by the effect of war on the working class and the soil itself.

I’m a huge fan of @wikipedia.org and just spent about 4 hours uploading a handful of my photos. I hope someone finds them useful. Here’s one of those images. An ant and its funky Cordyceps horn.
An ant that’s been killed by cordyceps fungus. The ant is tangled in a strand of green moss. The fungus sprouts out of the back of its neck like a horn. Then it widens into a ball with a texture like poppy seeds clumped together, then continues again as a thin horn that bends down towards the strand of moss. If not for the horn, the ant looks like it’s eating the moss.

This skull is tiny! Again, illustration and photo. Could you guess the species?
The red color in the teeth that can be appreciated in the photo is their actual color 😮

jealous of this eastern tiger swallowtail who gets to just chill on this tree all winter and doesn't have to pay attention to politics AT ALL.

photo of a fat swallowtail caterpillar attached to the side of a tree by a little piece of silk as it curls up to metamorphify. the side view of the caterpillar shows the green color fading to black, especially on the head, with gray texture on the central side that looks kind of like bark or lichen. the legs are curled up towards the head so altogether the caterpillar makes a question mark shape.

Last night out with a friend I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw what looks like the ‘Attitude of Gratitude’ mural in Portland ( that version is over two stories tall complete with living plants to make up her hair on the side of a building). Lovely to see a smaller version.

The living hair!
Painting of a woman with palms together with red paint around her eyes and hair made of living plants. Artist I think is Fin DAC #contemporaryart #art #pdx
