Discord group started a little event where we draw ourselves based on the theme for the week. This week's theme is insectsonas!

Day 25 of #Archive30 'Fashion'
@morethanadodo holds the enormous collection of papers, drawings and insects of John O. Westwood, the first Hope Professor of Zoology. This includes some of his work equipment and teaching aides as well as his fashionable spectacles and shoes.
The bear insults the wren and triggers a war between the creatures of the earth and the creatures of the air. The earth creatures forgot to reckon for the insects though.
Jacob Christian Schäffer's "Icones insectorvm circa Ratisbonam" contains 280 hand-colored copper engravings illustrating approximately 3,000 insects.
It's also the 1,000th book from our collection uploaded to @BioDivLibrary 's Flickr stream 🎉: https://t.co/MYRd52NDAX
Pokevillagers Round 2.
Shellos for @rocket1908.
Beedrill for @Endergorn.
Shuckle for @shuckle4smash.
First three comments get their favourite Pokémon turned into a Pokevillager! (Only vertebrates please (this means no more insects and stuff))
3/3 Agneta Block was a patron of naturalist/artist Maria Sibylla Merian, who recorded this pineapple w/ exciting cockroaches in her Insects of Surinam, 1705.
I've put some charts together I'd like to share with you. #optometry #charts #datascience #insects #flies
That's it for me today! I hope you enjoyed the last 11 hours of #WorldHemipteraDay fun! See you all next year! #SciComm #SciArt #Insects
Some #treehoppers are also known for parental care. Adults and nymphs of Enchenopa species can often be found together on a single plant. #WorldHemipteraDay #SciComm #TreehopperTuesday #insects
Can't forget about #TreehopperTuesday! Treehoppers have some of the most amazing body modifications in nature. Species in the genus Heteronotus are thought to act as wasp mimics which could help them deter predators. #WorldHemipteraDay #Insects #Biodiversity #SciComm
The adult periodical #cicadas emerge en masse. The large number of adults may overwhelm what predators like #birds can eat, giving the species a leg up on reproduction. #WorldHemipteraDay #SciComm #insects #Biodiversity
Periodic #cicadas in the genus Magicicada spend 13 or 17 years of their life as nymphs underground, depending on the species. During this time, they feed on the xylem fluids of their host plants. #WorldHemipteraDay #biodiversity #insects #SciComm
The last suborder of hemipterans is also one of my favorites: #Auchenorrhyncha! This group contains more than 42,000 species and some of the most bizarre appearances in the animal kingdom #WorldHemipteraDay #SciComm #Biodiversity #insects
Our last heteropteran is one of my least favorite bugs. It's a #bedbug :(. These blood sucking insects have undergone a resurgence in recent years and lead to millions of dollars each year in #PestControl measures. #WordHemipteraDay #insects #SciComm #biodiversity
Leaf footed #bugs in the family #Coreidae are can be found year round in southern portions of the US. These plant feeders may give off an unpleasant odor when handled. #WorldHemipteraDay #SciComm #Biodiversity #insects
