Poppy Loves Apples

One of my favorites, a male atlas moth on a tree of heaven, surrounded by bamboo. I made this piece to mimic flash photography in a forest at night. Tree bark is sculpted by me with clay

I'm so honored (#^.^#)

This blog has reached its target audience @bug-lovers-island !!

Have this carabus intricatus (blue ground beetle) as thanks :]]

I drew myself a new banner ( >ω<)

(Copic and prismacolor on paper)

Dragonflies and damselflies

Vintage bamboo weevils! These specimens are older than me! By, like, a lot!

Because bamboo weevils are from Asia, and these are very old, I decided to try and mimic staples of classic Asian art, like the deep green of bamboo leaves and the bright, lucky color red

By the way I hope y'all like Plant Bugs (Miridae) because I cannot imagine a world where I put any less than like 200 species into the game :]

Termites sniffing around (　＾∀＾)

Was compelled to make this during a conversation about commonly hated bugs

Moths! ((o(^∇^)o))

Light trap lamp! The moths are paper, and the mantis is a plastic toy. The idea was suggested to me by a friend because I had this plain shade and nothing to use it for. More moths will be added in the future to fill the sides
