If y’all thought mama oak treehopper with her little nymphs was cute, just look at mama with her young adult offspring. 😍 These brightly colored new adults darken a week or two after emerging to more closely resemble their mama. I like to think of this as their rebellious teenage stage.

A bluish grey adult oak treehopper with red eyes and red stripes (left) sits face-to-face with its mother, a treehopper donning muted green coloration and orange spots. The two insects sit on a branch against a brightly colored background.

Historic pigment alert. There's a bit of a trend in recent years for using toxic pigments again. As well as orpiment, there's realgar (another arsenic pigment), true Naples yellow (lead antimonate), & cinnabar (mercuric sulphide). Pay actual fucken attention to safety info if you ever use them…

Meet my daughters favorite bug — the blushing phantom ❤️. In the cloud forest in Ecuador, her clear wings make a little flutter of pink skip along a few meters in front of us on the hiking trails. They slowly blip along always just out of reach. This is the first I’ve gotten to cooperate for a photo

January Wasp-ing in Florida is a thing. One of my favorite little nuggets, Adelencyrtus (an encyrtid, of course), made an appearance today on a fence post. Love her little shiny stripy squished face. 💚

Surprise! You thought i wasn't working on anything because I wasn't sharing my usual 10,000 progress screenshots, but you were all of you deceived - I was, in fact, drawing this colourful mantis...

Drawing of a bright yellow and pinky-orange praying mantis with an incredibly slender body. The mantis has very thin, delicate legs and a prominent, extremely long yellow thorax.

A closeup of the drawing showing the mantis' folded wings and pink abdomen.

You know how the last Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops went extinct 66 million years ago? By that time, bones of Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, Allosaurus, and friends had already been fossils for more than 80 million years. And that's not even going back to the earliest dinosaurs.
