No costume for Timiny Cricket this year but I did catch a nice little illusion.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

The young calico who adopted us last year has desperately wanted to play with her two much older sisters, but they will have none of it.

Last Friday @vexedmuddler.bsky.social and I adopted this lovable little nugget, whom we have dubbed “Timiny Cricket”.

I must ask why you neglected to mention Santa and his Elvers in the calendar promotional materials. 😕

Photographed a LOT of handsome salticids in Costa Rica, but these Anasaitis canalis males were the fanciest! ✨💙 Very difficult to shoot - not just tiny - but super skittish too!

In situ, stack (3 shots?), Pentax, Laowa 25mm

Aside from being pride month, it’s also immigrant heritage month! I'm a recent immigrant to the US, so I did this mani as a celebration of my Canadian heritage. I recreated 4 famous Group Of Seven paintings - the last image shows the paintings they’re based on. Details in alt text!

Back on my bullshit with a mani inspired by Arcane (the series). All handpainted with regular nail polish. The last photo I just included for dramatic lighting and my cool beetle tattoos.

Teeny little dung beetle! The species is Scooped Scarab, although Scooper Scarab may be more appropriate 🌿

A simple dragon scale-inspired mani.

Does selling original paintings for $10 compensate me for my time and artistic vision? No. But is it a great business move? Also no. Here's why I do it anyway #sciart

When you have a lovely game night with friends but you’re a bug nerd so the only photos you take are of a couple of spoods on their front porch.
