My design for the @clppng.bsky.social limited run Halloween tee!!! Such an unbelievably sick project, especially since I've been a fan of the band for a long time. The design is based on their track "body & blood"

Treat's collared ant, Aphaenogaster treatae. Sand Ridge state forest, Illinois. This is a large, attractive sand-specialist ant is common in eastern North America wherever the soil type fits. It can be recognized by the enlarged lobe at the base of the antennae.

Pink-bellied Moth! (Oenochroma vinaria) I found this magnificent creature in my garden last night. It was still stretching its wings, so I was able to get very close with my macro lens. Thank you for your patience, little friend! #invertebrates

Photo of a Pink-bellied Moth holding onto the end of a leaf. It does indeed have a pink belly, but also a pink face and pink legs with light and dark patches. Its eyes are dark brown, and its antennae are red with orange filaments.

Same subject from above focusing on the moth's wings. They are a darker shade of pink than the belly with stripes of red and orange and dark red/purple patches. Its colours are not unlike certain gum leaves, and would probably camouflage it well in leaf litter.

Same subject, cropped and focused on the moth's face. There is sufficient detail to make out the facets of its eyes, the top of its curved, pale-brown tongue, and the individual hairs on its face and antennae.

Poey’s furrow bee (Halictus poeyi) on wild sensitive plant leaves (Chamaecrista nictitans) CREW pen flint strand lake trails Bonita Springs, Florida 9-20-26 Waking to a dewy world. #insectThursday #colorADay #yellowThu #eck #macro #nature #art #native #bees #bugsky #threewordgenre #pollinators

Macro of a bee perched head-on looking directly forward. Nestled atop a layered arrangement of small, even-pinnate green leaflets, the insect showcases its dense, pale hairs covering its dark face and a prominent bright yellow patch on its lower clypeus. Its dark, segmented antennae sweep upward and outward to its stage-left and stage-right, while its large compound eyes are in sharp focus. The individual green leaflets feature a distinct, thin dark-red margin. The background elements melt into a smooth, dark bokeh blur.

Macro of a millipede coiled tightly around a vertical brown twig against a solid black background. Positioned on its stage-left, the creature's smooth, rounded, segmented body arches in a dynamic curve, displaying alternating glossy bands of cream and deep chocolate brown. Dozens of its delicate, pale translucent legs extend inward, firmly gripping the rough woody bark. The smooth, rounded head capsule is visible near the upper center, tucked close to the twig. The lighting highlights the glossy, reflective texture of the exoskeleton, while the background is completely dissolved.

The arachnid is facing toward its right, showing its left side, with its elongated, light tan and green legs extended forward and covered in sharp black spines. Its translucent neon-green cephalothorax and tapered abdomen rest securely against the foliage next to a small, decaying white and yellow bloom. The entire subject is sharply focused and isolated against a deep black background.

This is Chrysoperla, Common green lacewing. So striking that I photograph them whenever I see them. Lacewings are neuropteridans, close within holometabolans to snakeflies, alderflies and kin. They're predators of aphids; Chrysoperla is a cosmopolitan genus. #insects #naturalhistory
