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
Since we're talking Lepidopteras and Dragons, let me introduce to you all my Lepidrak(s)!
Did these babies in watercolor.
The idea behind them is a species of super colorful, lively funloving draconids who happen to have lepidoptera markings. This also includes moths as well.
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
Our next heteropteran family is #Belostomatidae. These aquatic bugs have a painful bite, but many are also doting parents. Male insects carry the eggs on their back until the hatch. #WorldHemipteraDay #Biodiversity #insects
1st up is the family #Pentatomidae, commonly known as stink bugs. This family includes species that feed on plants and some predatory species. Their shield shaped bodies are often a way to recognize members of this family. #WorldHemipteraDay #insects #biodiversity #entomology
Have you ever seen a #psyllid? Possibly not, since these tiny sternorrhynchans are easily overlooked. Although they are commonly called jumping plant lice, they are not lice at all! Lice belong to an entirely different order. #WorldHemipteraDay #biodiversity #entomology #Insects
Continuing our journey through #Hemiptera with Sternorrhyncha! These #insects are found worldwide and are probably best known as plant pests. This group includes aphids, psyllids, whiteflies, scales, and phylloxeroids. #WorldHemipteraDay #biodiversity #SciComm #pestcontrol
Up first today: Coleorrhyncha! This odd looking suborder is an ancient group (~250 million years old), but just one family exists today. These tiny #insects are found only in the southern hemisphere, where they are associated with mosses. #WorldHemipteraDay #biodiversity #SciComm
Tomorrow is #WorldHemipteraDay! I’ll be tweeting out pics, drawings, and fun facts all day long. Follow the hashtag to learn more about some amazing and important insects! @uiucEGSA #entomology #scicomm #insects #nature #animals
That's totally me !!

This was only supposed to be a quick sketch but...

Pas d'information quant au format de ce projet et sa date de diffusion pour le moment
À noter que le tirage des volumes sera limité et que les 7 superbes tomes que comptera ARIA The Masterpiece ne seront pas forcément réimprimés en cas de rupture de stock. N'hésitez point trop !

#BeetleIllustrationOfTheDay : Shining Fungus Beetle . I couldn’t resist collaging this extraordinary looking beetle. I struggled to find much information about this species, so do let me know any more details if you have studied them! #coleoptera #beetle @Buzz_dont_tweet
