The new Nepenthes bag is coming soon! I spent so much time working with the manufacturer on the sample, and now I’m finally happy with it! It will be a perfect bag for our bug friends, and totally safe for them😉 I am expecting the whole batch to be done and available in September! 💚

Got a little bit time to draw a playful bumblebee! 🐝 A recent research showed the problem solving ability of bumblebees! Without any training, they figured out how to roll a ball to a proper spot and used it as a step ladder to reach their sugary rewards.

Long live the queens! Some of those eusocial critter queens do have an extremely long life span up to 30 yrs or even longer (naked mole-rat, ants and termites), which is phenomenal considering their sizes. Which queen would you wanna be or serve if you’re a little critter? 👑

What we bug lovers can do in the Year of the Horse? To admire the humble camel cricket! Known as Zao Ma in Chinese, which means “kitchen horse”, it is the mount of the Kitchen God Zao Jun, and brings good fortune & indicates plenty of food on the plates.

Have a happy Valentine’s Day with your soul mate, soil mate, or both!! 🌱💚 Those litter critters can be easily overlooked, and may even treated as nuisances or pests in some scenarios, but together they maintain the soil rich and healthy! Which is your favorite soil mate?

It’s probably weird to say that, but I do have a lot of personal attachment to cockroaches. When I draw 1 roach, there are always another 10 more I wanna do! But there’s only so much canvas space so I had to make choices … swipe to see the species list!

Is it an angry rabbit shrimp? No it’s a phantom midge pupa! It’s the 8th wonder of the world why this little creature hasn’t got insanely popular yet. Oh and they look like something you’ll see in hollow knight or silk song, which is a plus.

We love jumping spiders because they are smol, cute, active, friendly and always looking around curiously with their huge eyes. But do you know they’re also masters of mimicry? Check out the bugs they pretend to be (and some of those are really good)!💚💚
