Hi ! I’m Chen Zha, an entomologist and freelancer artist.
Invertebrates are my favorite illustrating topics but I love all the life forms on this planet; especially those underrepresented and misunderstood ones. Open to work in 2023!

We're already in a major extinction event with thousands of species going extinct every year.

I'm slowly watching us make every large vertebrate go away ... except for us and farm animals. Maybe in my lifetime.

Day 24:

Pink velvet worm...

This incredible and voracious invertebrate has a pair of awesome "Slime cannons" with which they blast their preys, and then as the prey is paralyzed with the dry slime... well, they eat it alive.

I'm starting to love to draw bugs and various other goofy invertebrates. I've never really paid attention to them, so this october is definitely broadening my horizon. 🌺
