Wasps serve their habitats via pollination pest control, and decomposition. They are ecosystem warriors and deserve respect! So we need more pro-wasp content in this world.

You know the drill. Subscribe to my Patreon at the big sticker tier before July 15 to get the jaunty hagfish sticker.
Anyone who subscribes at any tier for at least six months gets a grab bag of stickers at the end of the year, which means you have until the end of July to get some of these.

For years, I've tried to make a cute hagfish sticker. My attempts were always a little lackluster.
I asked @erinthez.bsky.social to revisiting the jaunty hagfish in a little red hat. Coming this July, a hagfish sticker you actually want to put on your water bottle!

I know people are excited to plant milkweed for monarch butterflies but 1) make sure the milkweed is native to your local habitat, not just your country or state & 2) some places are inappropriate for milkweed! if you live along california's coast, planting milkweed may endanger caterpillars

Baby face, you've got the cutest little baby face.
This baby's face was way more challenging than I'd expected and took several reworkings. I'm pretty happy with it how. Just have an ear to finish. 🎨🦊

For #WobbegongWed I'm leaning into wobbe's right now for my thesis so I want to talk about the species I'm working on today: Eucrossorhinus dasypogon or the tasselled wobbegong.
Their habitat range, according to the IUCN website, is the northern half of Australia and around Papua New Guinea

Bugs Among Us - Around Logs
Pauropods look like pillbugs but are actually stubby cousins of millipedes.
They're smol and hard to see with naked eyes, but people usually can notice them by their gait—they run in bursts, stop, twitch their antennae, then run the other way. 🎨 🐡

Week 3: Garden Symphylan! (Scutigerella Immaculata)
Realizing that some body segments share a pair of legs was super cool- I'd wondered why my segment/leg counts didn't add up! I bet these are what I see when doing my potting.

Garden symphylans (Scutigerella immaculata) are common animals that live worldwide.
Despite this, they're smol, scuttly, and like to hide in moist soil, so most people don't even know these critters exist under their plants. 🎨 🐡
