Garden Tiger moths, for I have been told it is #invertefest again. - Grey #Art #Bugs #Moth
A pair of Garden tiger moths (Arctia caja) as seen from the back. One is perched, one is launching into flight with hindwings exposed. The hindwings are a fiery orange with iridescent blue flashing patches. This is to warn predators that they are very toxic. 

Colour and background details were aided by my partner's suggestions. Some details were reproduced from naturally deceased specimens in my collection.


Some extra details: These moths can be very bold and will sometimes grace outdoor lights or window panes at night. Their caterpillars can sometimes be attracted by foxglove plants. Adults will make noises if you upset them, the same response they use to warn bats.

Warning: Do not plant foxgloves where children or a pet could reach them, they are toxic. Do not unwisely pick up the caterpillars, they have irritating spines.

🦋 Cover Reveal!✨ So excited to finally share the cover art I created for • Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • @hexagonmagazine.bsky.social 🎨
Cover art I created for • Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • - Cover is a rectangle of a symmetrical detailed mirror half drop repeat pattern inspired by arts and crafts era wallpaper. In the middle section is a dragonfly facing down from overhead with paper wasps facing outwards above over top of branching leaves. Below and above is the central repeated motif of a large leaf insect from above framed by lace wing butterflies turned outward and stag beetles facing inward. Surrounding and underneath all of them are stylized leaf branches with round large berries. The entire pattern is in intense ochre yellow and mahogany brown shades with pops of pale yellow for the berries. Over top is a handmade paper texture and fine line ink work in brown and pale yellow for threadbare highlights on the wasp and butterfly wings.

Another leaf for the nest 💛 #Art #Dove #Raven #Oak
A dove (Eurasian collared) is happily presenting a bright green oak leaf to a large raven. The background was loosely designed after experimental 360 photography that catches both the ground and sky in one single shot. 

(One of my inspirations was a video of a captive dove going absolutely overboard with maple leaf gifts for their mate/nest! 💛)

Lots of thanks to my partner Grey, who is always willing to share their own expertise and suggestions.

a photo of a green and brown Assassin Bug drinking a black fly.  the Assassin Bug has very slender legs which are green near the body and brown lower down.  Long, slender, brown antennae emerge from between the glossy brown eyes. Its long pointy mouth parts are buried into the thorax of a black fly which roughly resembles a house fly.

Two year anniversary of when I first posted this comic
Two panel comic. Panel 1: an anglerfish is washed up on the ocean shore, laying in the tide. It thinks to itself, “it’s so beautiful.” Panel 2: wide shot of the beach, rocky cliffs, and sky at sunset, with the anglerfish still laying in place. The anglerfish continues thinking to itself, “I might have never known.”

A cloudy sky near sunset, the clouds painted soft shades of peach, lilac, and light cyan. 

Above the clouds, a bearded vulture glides, trailing a glow like the aurora. The light of the setting sun gilds their outline in a warm greeting.

How to get into nature.
A four-panel comic titled "how to get into nature". In panel 1, a person kneels in the woods, looking down at a red-backed salamander, and the text says "notice a living thing." In panel 2, the text says "notice some other things that live near it," and there's a starflower, springtail, ant, little wood satyr butterfly, and salamander on the leaf litter. In panel 3, covered in creatures, plants, and a colorful starburst, the text says "Notice the connections between them, discover the wider ecosystem, learn about its histories, and find yourself following links from bedrock to stratosphere, between biotic and abiotic, at scales both microbial and massive, until you’re hopelessly overwhelmed by the wonder of it all." In panel 4, the text says "Fall into a daze and let moss engulf you." The person from the first panel is still kneeling in the woods, looking happy as moss slowly engulfs them, and they're saying "This is for the best."

Closeup drawing of a clearwing hummingbird moth. It has a shrimp shaped body covered in rusty fuzz on the back and tail, white on chest, and green on the head. It has lovely wings that are outlined in black but see through. It is feasting on some fantastical looking purple blooms.

Happy Solstice ❄️
A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

The image depicts a vibrant field of blooming daffodils under a clear blue sky. The foreground features several large daffodils with white petals and bright yellow centers, surrounded by lush green leaves. Scattered among them are smaller daffodils with orange centers. The field stretches out into the distance, filled with clusters of these flowers, creating a sea of white, yellow, and green as it recedes into the horizon. The lighting is bright, enhancing the vivid colors and giving the scene a fresh, springtime feel.
