I’ve been illustrating scarlet moths this week. They seem an appropriate post for Valentines day. Love moths! ❤️
Give the insects living in your garden a perfect Christmas gift by letting them hibernate and shelter in peace. Leave soil unturned, leaf-litter alone & ground cover untidied. 🐞🐛🐜🎁
I’m determined to get my insect illustrations accurate. Here’s another attempt at collaging worker Moss and Brown-banded Carder Bees. Do they look ok this time? Expert feedback gratefully accepted! @StevenFalk1
I would welcome feedback from bee experts! I’m trying to illustrate Carder bees correctly but am struggling to get details right, as Moss Carder bees and Brown Banded Carder bees seem so similar… do I need to make any changes?
I’ve been illustrating more of nature’s waste disposal experts, who are busy processing all kinds of waste, composting organic material & fertilising soil. We’d be in a total mess without them! #dungbeetle #carrionbeetle #sextonbeetle #organic

I’ve been collaging a ladybird’s fascinating lifecycle. For some reason I was never taught in school about any lifecycle other than butterflies’. I’m making up for lost time now! Do point out any errors or improvements in my text or illustrations. @UKLadybirds #sciart
