Heartbreaking when someone points out a ladybug to me, but it flies away before I can see any sort of identifying features except body shape </3

A cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) seen today, and one I made a bit ago. #cinnabar #cinnabarmoth #moth #art #mothart #Tyriajacobaeae #lepidoptera

A lovely Lorquin's Admiral (Limenitis lorquini)

A flying saucer lady beetle, the second I've seen! Always a joy

It's pride month, of course I think it'd be funny to call arguments over whether Asian lady beetles are ladybugs or not transphobic. People are going to get mad anyway, and I am tired of seeing it

My first painted ladybird (Mulsantina picta) of the year! A challenge to photograph with the wind, but worth it.

Got so lucky to catch this butterfly while studying insects
