I found this cut little burrowing wolf spider on one of my walks. She must have been used to foot traffic, inches from the sidewalk, so I saw her a few days and then I brought out my camera on Halloween night last year. Geolycosa riograndae #Arachtober #spider #macrophotography

I can never decide how 2 draw spiders

Some spider anthropoids I have created for upcoming artwork . Dolomedes and argyronetid, the former totally bipedal and the latter hunched over on their knuckles I wonder if you can guess the theme 😀 not the first time I have drawn pisauridae but the first was a little more venusian I suppose . I Love Big Head

No particularly good pictures but I saw this Thing sunning with me today I don't see many other bugs checking out the passion flowers but the crab spiders and carpenter bees seem 2 like them so far but I think the bees are far too big for these ones to bother them

A yellow bodied crab spider with red cephalothorax and striped legs lies in wait on the corona filaments of a purple passion flower . I've seen this species once before now but I will have to do more research to identify oouhu

My vent art about learning that you're not supposed to have such a hard time keeping your insteps flat on the ground

My tan spider fursona from behind , on top of a yoga block on their knees, left leg out to the side for a bit of relief from this stupid stretch for plantar flexion . An anthropomorphic megaponera ant massages the sole of the left foot, while a band legged earwig measures the space between the purple exercise mat and the instep of the right foot with a very small measuring tape . My fursona looks back with a sad and annoyed expression, the other two serious and stone faced and serious about their work. There's pale curtains in the background to the left, and the side of a wooden shelf visible to the right . A sliver of floor is visible beneath the mat, grey linoleum inset with stones and Everything is bathed in orange light . just some artefacts from my Life

Not my greatest perspective work by a mile and it took much self restraint not to correct everything with mesh transform once the pencil was scanned but I did not because it truly is never that serious.. I don't think this composition is very flattering either but that part is more in line with my priorities and a more straightforward goal here was to not use any reference and that did go pretty well all things considered. I also do not own a yoga block and instead actually use a creepcat dragon plush on top of two books to do this stretch and it still sucks so I kind of wish I did have professional help but I didn't want to draw all that maybe I'm just lazy and also a bad person . These are meant to be the same ant and earwig featured in previous grounding exercise artworks

Coming Soon but I sense it will take a while

An anthro megaponera ant uses four hands to massage the metatarsals at the sole of a two toed foot to their left . I hate calling it the ball of the foot even if that is the appropriate term but I GUESS ventral metatarsal is a mouthful but either way they are serious about their work . You'll never guess who's in this one

Not to diss focus-stacking, but there’s a sort of obsessive tendency in the insect photography community to overcompensate for the softness at high magnification with sharpening, upscaling, and stacking. This comes at the expense of behavioral images.

Well this certainly is a beautiful little mosquito 😍 I know people hate them, but they can be very nice to look at when they're not attacking you 😂 These were not attacking 🙏 Looks like an Anopheles, perhaps A. quadrimaculatus. @mosquitolab.bsky.social can you confirm? #Culicidae Johnston Co., NC

A brown mosquito rests standing with its hind legs up on algae-covered wood. It has greenish eyes and a brown body. The legs have hints of blues and greens in iridescence.

Jusr somefing for a discord buddy . I would ahve leaned harder on the illuminated manuscript sort of style but I thought it would be a little funnier this way

Long necked creature stares at a sawfly larvae wrapped around a tree branch . I left most of the paper blemishes in place so you can probably see a lot of dust from the scanner if you Pixel Peep but I also tried to mix a lot of the colors manually save for the body of the Beast, who is also drawn with just a bit more detail and definition than anything else ; I don't think I fully achieved the exact look I wanted because I'm not super interested in patterned brushes but the background is also manually mixed in some attempt to get the yellowed parchment look ; A wavy bit of green grass spans the bottom, more saturated patches of orange and yellow cutting through - The creature's feet don't quite touch it. They have dinosaur-like haunches and a long torso with small arms that curl down, striped fur covering most of the body save for the also striped forearms and shins onward - pale blues on the exposed skin and a darker blue on the fur. Its neck is curved into the space between the tree branch to look closer at the green bodied and yellow headed insect, arms outstretched in front of itself as those things do . There's definitely more detailed trees in the typical manuscript but I liked how average the pineappleesque ones looked though my shaky Hand does not do it much justice . This one probably would have been more fun traditionally but I'm not getting the MOST space lately but hopefully I will get the opportunity again, I'm kind of itching to draw other people's designs more often but I think I've been approached for art trades like twice in my life but I GUESS I get it I can't imagine its the highest quality of work ever . It was a nice hit to my confidence to be asked of this though they did offer me something back and as much as I love what I've seen of their work so far I think my body would rather kill me than allow me to ask for something

A benefit of writing a wildlife column in the parish mag is that people bring me jam jars containing random things. Today it was a “nasty-looking fly” a neighbour found on her back while gardening. It’s the Hippoboscid Ornithomya avicularia (Bird Louse Fly). Looks fine to me, if a bit unbalanced.

A Bird Louse Fly (Ornithomya avicularia), a member of the flat fly family #Hippoboscidae.

It’s a dull green fly with blackish pronotum and reddish eyes. Its right wing is missing (bitten off by itself perhaps? Apparently they do that when on a host bird to make it easier to walk through the feathers.). #UkDiptera

A bluish black carpenter bee in a purple and yellow passion flower . Their head is obscured by the flowers' anthers

The same crab spider alone on a leaf. They initially jumped out when the bee first arrived and sat in this position for a while before crawling back up the flower to hide from me

Not much of a hedgehog+The Gods Must Be Craaaazay

Digital painting of me as some kind of horrible spider person with a dumb and pensive look on their face, lying on their extended arm on a grey patterned bed. There isn't anything in the background except for the corner of the blue walls . There are four little figures messing with my character , all belonging to friends and my partner, and all dressed in white robes and shawls. The topmost is some kind of alien, grey and kind of looks like a lungfish in the face with the natural smile but with bigger eyes and dark seaweed colored hair, a mask resembling a smiley face worn on their red shawl - they are smashing a globe over the head of my character . A pink bat with dark hair and a gold crown lies back with their knees up on the pedipalp-arm closer to the bed, hand close to their chin with a serious look. Their shawl is Green and A blue dragon is to their right where the arm and the neck meet, a yellow band around their waist and a gold arrow on the tip of their tail - they tug at the corner of my spider's mouth. Just below, a skunk with an orange shawl on the mattress itself blows an antiquated trumpet into the tip of the pedipalp . All the little guys give off a slight cold glow

Not my most researched artwork ever and I kind of wanted it to be funnier than it ended up looking but I am a bland sort lolll Just actually some sentimental DRIVEL but it was fun . I don't have any confidence in this art Shit and it's hard enough trying to bring myself to share anything and frankly most other people have felt like a big metaphorical jar on my Flame for one reason or another so while it's a sentiment I've expressed many times I'm glad there's like a few people who believe in anything I can do visually. None of them seem to confidently proclaim themselves artists at least for the moment so I have to assume I'm some kind of energy vampire because no Artist has inspired me even half as much to Do My Own Thing so sadly my art will continue to get more banal and strange and
