The face of a wood leopard moth, Zeuzera pyrina.

I think it looks pretty adorable and friendly :)

#moth #insects #bug #entomology
Photo of a white fluffy moth resting on the tip of someone's finger. We can see the underside of the moth and its head. It had two big brown eyes and feather like antenna. It has white fluff along its back and its legs are a shiny black blue colour. There is white light reflecting in its eyes, making it look like they have big white pupils.

Scare footman moth, Eilema complana, I believe. :)

Contrary to what some of the internet seems to think, not all moths are fluffy with big hairy antenna. There are many, like this species, that do not look like that.

#moth #insects #entomology #bug
The face of a moth. It is hairy and orange with thread like antenna. Top view of a moth. The moth has grey silver wings with yellow edges. The wings are folded over its back and it has an orange hairy head and orange legs and thread like antenna. The moth rests on a sketchbook.

Wildlife belongs in the wild, not hung up on walls as decoration 🦇🦇

That's why we're urging #Amazon to stop selling painted woolly #bats so their populations can again flourish in the wild — where they belong.

Image of a paint wooly bat (a striking orange and black bat). Its wings are spread wide in flight. In the upper-left corner of the image, text reads "I'm a painted woolly bat, not a wall decoration."

Big fan of Notiophilus, such a weird looking genus of ground beetles.

The big eyes they have makes them look adorable in my opinion. :)

Rant:
I'm starting to get really sick and tired of people calling non human animals "evil".

Just because a species might act a certain way we as humans find unacceptable, it doesn't mean the animal is evil. This is just projecting human qualities onto other species-

I have no idea where the original drawings went so I only have this photo of them for now sadly.

But anyways, I really like these, doodled them in class once because I got bored.

#art #traditonalart #oc #artist #furryart
A picture of two traditional drawings done using a pencil. The top drawing shows a demon with two large horns, sun glasses, a spiky leather jacker and she looks concerned. The bottom drawing is of a feminine cat. She wears two earrings in her right here, a fluffy feather scarf around her neck and a jacket. She has dark stripes on her forehead and her ears are also dark. She has dark eyelids and looks at something to her left slightly.

This is Walter. He is an unspecified species of stick grasshopper, Proscopiidae.

I don't think I've ever shared him before here so here he is in all his glory.

Walter.

A digital drawing of a brown stick grasshopper insect. It has two green eyes, two short antenna and looks ahead. Its head is triangular almost in shape. A character reference sheet. The drawing is done digitally. The reference sheet shows a brown stick grasshopper insect with six legs, two green eyes and two brown short antenna. He looks happy and is waving with one front arm. There are two other drawings near by showing other facial expressions he has.

a bust of a cartoon mantis character pointing at a stippled 3d-looking sphere with a shadow and saying "oh. that's an incromprehensible object". the word "okaaay" is written above it. above that is a drawing of the mantis characters head from the side being probed by the antennae of a crudely drawn earwig with the word "hi". to the right of that is a cockroach character saying "euuu" and laying cutely. two sketches of a slender blue mantis character, the one on the left is uncolored.

A digital drawing of two anthropomorphic insects. The one on the left is a fluffy brown and orange moth. It has two long feathery orange antenna. Its head is half covered by orange hair. The moth has four arms and two legs and holds its arms closely against its chest. The moth has an orange underside and brown back. Its forewings are brown and hind wings are orange and salmon pink. The insect on the right is a black wasp. It is a little taller then the moth and has four arms and two legs. It has two sharp claws on the end of each hand and foot. It has a thin orange abdomen with a black end and dark brown wings. It is covered in hairs and has three light green ocelli on its head, simple eyes. The wasp looks over at the moth.

It’s true. Honey bees are livestock and their issues are well understood by scientists. Native pollinator issues however need much greater attention and focus. We are only now beginning to understand how honey bees impact native plant-pollinator interactions.

One of my favorite photos from last year- a male Tettigonia viridissima, great green bush cricket.

The photo came out so well I'm so happy with it, you can see all the little details on the wings and abdomen. :D
