I'm a programmer, artist, game developer, and amateur naturalist! I have 2 young kids that are adorable but lots of work. Warning, there may be unspoilered bug pics.

I plan to contribute something positive to the discourse here and you can't stop me!

Some kind of American aster: a long bract with many white-and-yellow flowers A cute little bundleflower! A low growing plant with compound leaves similar to mimosa. A very small grey grasshopper sitting on my fingers.

Some of my best photos from last weekend's bioblitz
A green bug at the tip of a blade of grass An ichneumon wasp peeking out and watching me carefully from behind a plant stem A honeybee on an aster. Kinda blurry though. A closeup of the top leaves of a peppervine shoot

I got jealous of people who can draw anime boys. I'd end up with a lot more FFXIV fanart if I could. Most of my sketches from tonight's practice didn't make the cut but I ended up with this one. #ffxiv #estinien #nidhogg
A red and black image with a stylized Estinien in black dragoon armor and helmet in the foreground, with a red Nidhogg and floating eye in the background. The words Darkness and Vengeance are scrawled at the bottom, with vengeance looking like it's dripping with blood.

First of these butterflies I've ever seen and it was in my backyard! What a cutie. #bugsky #butterflies #lepidoptera
A black and tan butterfly on a piece of grass. It's a "Bordered Patch" -- scientific name Chlosyne lacinia.

Cool things found in the yard today! The spider surprised me by falling on me but I managed to get him to stay still on my bamboo stick for a photo! #spiders #bugsky #nature #insects #bugs

Why did this not get my picture? Here they are with the clips
Embroidered Cecropia moth plushies with clips attached so they can be clipped onto backpacks and such.

Cutie is complete! Unless I find something else to beautify on it. #moth #plushie #embroidery

Making these has been so much fun! I keep finding interesting ways to spruce them up.
A photo of a bed with sewing tools on it and some plushie moths that I'm working on embroidering with brighter patterns. They look like Cecropia moths so I'm adding more red to the underlying brown!
