Went out looking for inverts for yesterday and didn't get much, but the weather wasn't great. I'll have to try again today! For now, here's a rough little cicada painting, plus a recently-molted cicada I found in American Samoa a couple years ago.

Starting off with paintings of some of the beetles we find in Sierra Nevada forests! These wood boring beetles are like little works of art themselves.

Does anyone know what this is? I saw many of them, so it’s not artifact. Plankton tow from the Gulf of Mexico, flat & about the size of a pinhead (same specimen, brightfield versus darkfield)

A kaleidoscope of butterflies for

My linocut includes orange Isabella’s Longwings, yellow Eastern tiger swallowtails and blue red-spotted purples (which sounds like an oxymoron but is a type of butterfly).

For one of my favorite comics from last year.
It was by a lecture from Dr Daniel Kronauer, for whom said buttbeetle is named!
