10/24 - Giant Water Bug.
I cheated, I drew two (: A water scavenger beetle up top, I have one of these guys (dead though) from a bike ride this past summer! And a Giant Water Bug by the bottom. The males carry the eggs on their backs!

10/17 - Five-Spotted Hawk Moth
Good old Manduca quinquemaculata, the Tomato horn worm caterpillar that turns into a wonderful moth capable of hovering like a hummingbird! Don't let them ruin your tomato plants though.

10/15 - Rose Chafer
The one with the scientific name Macrodactylus subspinosus. I usually see them on peonies, despite their name. Might go back into the background on this one once it’s fully dry.

10/14 - House Fly
My 2019 inktober list is making me realize how funky bug legs can be. There's a little bit of gold on the wings!

10/07 - Pseudoscorpion
It’s hard to really communicate how small these guys are! Apparently they eat cobweb spiders, which explains why I was able to collect a dead one from inside our old farmhouse home.

10/02 - Mosquito
Forgot to tag yesterday but I'll remember to do so for the less pretty insects...
